- brownie mode: doing small helpful favors unbidden. tidying up around the house (not for yourself). consuming small morsels.
- kobold mode: laying traps (precarious container near refrigerator door, etc)
- gremlin mode: taking things apart (ok if you can't put them back together again)
- redcap mode: violence
