[WP] A spell is invented that lets you swap physical characteristics with anyone willing to trade. Want a bigger nose? Find someone who wants a smaller one. Want to be taller? Talk to someone who wants to be shorter. Hair length, eye shape, skin tone, size, figure--everything's for the trading.

[EU] You're a con-man on a backwater planet. Through a series of clever tricks, you've convinced the locals that you're a Jedi there to protect them, when in fact you don't have a shred of the Force. Then a Sith shows up looking to kill you and you have to put all those tricks to use to survive.
