@Blueflame Question. If enough of the shadow got burned off, would it force Mason back into a weaker form?

They're not LONG chapters; but the fact I've managed to right 2 meh and 4 half decent ones in 4 days makes me very happy with myself.

@Blueflame No worries, I'm heading for bed in a few minutes myself.

"Damnit Richard, get out of there!" Argus growled back over the radio, quickening his pace, "We don't know what that thing is capable of and you're probably the squishiest agent out here." The Djinn reached for his belt when he heard the gunshots, retrieving a fist-sized metal canister with a nozzle and valve on one end, "Stupid monkeys always shooting without thinking..." he stopped in his tracks when he finally reached the demon, sliding to a halt next to Richard as his momentum tried to carry him forward.
"That's a big hedgehog." Argus observed, glancing over at the other agent; trickles of flame rolling across the reptilian flesh of his face as it reverted to the human mask. "You're going to want to take a few steps back Ricky, things are gonna get hot." With his right hand, the agent pressed the fuel can to his lips, rotating the valve with his thumb to release its contents.
Argus' chest expanded noticeably as the compressed fuel filled his mortal shell, and ripples of heat began to roll from his skin as it ignited. The human guise began to peel away from his arms, consumed by a powerful but invisible flame. In a matter of seconds, the human appendages were replaced by thick-scaled reptilian limbs, at the end of which rested four-fingered hands capped with thick bone claws. Narrowing his eyes, he looked between Richard, Amaya, and the shadow demon.
"Run."

@Blueflame Won't be too much, just coming off his arms when he shifts them back to his Djinn form.

Just a heads up about what's going on in the post I'm about to make, Argus is downing a canister of liquid hydrogen. His reason for doing so is that it's an extremely effective chemical fuel source; which he needs to rejuvenate his internal flame if he's injured.
HOWEVER, when I was doing some research on various liquid fuels he could use for that purpose I stumbled across some interesting information. When burning, hydrogen puts out a significant amount of UV radiation and creates a flame which is invisible to the naked eye.
Not intentional, (my original plan was to go looking for a tanning bed and a portable generator) but it might put out enough UV rays to buy Richard and Amaya time to get away.

"We should have a talk with Dispatch when we get back to HQ." the Djinn suggested, taking a long draw from his cigarette and swallowing the butt as he prepared to enter the sewers with Griffin; then his radio came to life with Richard's report, "Dammit, no more time for subtlety." Argus set off at a sprint alongside Griffin, his facial features burning away to reveal a reptilian snout with slit eyes under which rested a pair of small pits. He flicked out his newly forked tongue and took a sharp turn to the left, "Griffin, they're this way!" he advised, "Follow my lead and we might reach them in time." the Djinn advised as he followed the God-touched mortal's scent through the labyrinthine sewers.
The closer Argus got to his quarry, the stronger the stench of the shadow demon became, and he mentally prepared himself for a fight when he began to hear the sounds of concrete being torn apart. The Djinn would wait until he had a chance to assess the situation before transforming any further, but he was ready if it came to that.

@KatherinWinter@Blueflame That's the idea, do a compromise between a more reasonable/manageable form while still allowing for a larger one to become a threat or tactical option at some point in the future.

Here's my thought process. If his weakness to sunlight is a result of ultraviolet radiation, make it so he assumes the SHAPE of his final form at midnight every night, but is still heavily restricted on power; call it a maximum size of 10 feet tall. The reason being that even at night the moon is reflecting small amounts of UV radiation towards earth.
During astrological events which further reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation present, allow him to reach a larger size and greater strength. Still less than the 30 foot mark, but larger than the 10. Maybe call it 15' tops.
A good example of a condition with even less UV radiation (at least, naturally occurring UV radiation. Most man-made light sources put out some UV light) would be a total lunar eclipse; a blood moon. During that particular event the earth is directly between the Sun and Moon. That means the only light reaching the moon (and thus being reflcted down to the surface of the earth) bis long-wavelength light on the red/infrared end of the spectrum which refracts through our atmosphere. Almost no ultraviolet light reaches the side of the planet facing the moon.

I'm gonna hold off on my post until that's sorted out as it will directly impact how Argus reacts to the situation.
