(BG Spoilers) LTW Conservation of Speed w/ Mass Shift
Smaug with OCD:
In BG, during the fight with the fire giants, LTW flies at one, changing from a hawk to an elephant mid-flight. According to Dresden, he maintains his flight speed while doing this. I'm not really a math and science guy, but my instinct is to say that something is off about that. The easy answer is "magic." But, I was wondering if I was just wrong, or if shenanigans would indeed need to be happening for that conservation of speed to occur?
A minor detail, I know. But, I'm curious.

Your instinct is right. Take the easy answer. At a minimum it violates the conservation of momentum in some fashion.

Actually you can get mass from the nevernever as explained in skingame. You can temporarily store it there as well if I remember wok correctly.

I think more to the point, mastering the changes in mass and speed are part of the skin changer's art. It could be that shifting atoms from one dimension to another accounts for it, so flying sparrow LTW can instantly become falling two ton elephant LTW.
