>>12123652Two main reasons. One it makes it easier to cast illusions when I have a good sense of where every part of me is. Two in the rare event I have to fight if all my fur was flying around it would be a danger. It could blind me I could accidentally slash it it could be set on fire etc. Too many risks you see? The bead is a mix of various berry juices that a Heracross I know mixed into a solid, very strong bead that doesn't pull at or weaken the fur. Why do you ask?
