That is meta-gaming. Adding new techniques to a character and using them to avoid a situation that could not be done so by their abilities beforehand is essentially cheating. Adding techniques simply to add on to their arsenal during a fight is fine, everybody on the RP was allowed to do so as long as it was done in a fair way, but it can't be done for the purpose of avoiding defeat in an RP. Mushoku, prior to being struck, had no way out of it through such techniques beforehand so you can't just tack on a new technique and say he had it all the time. It isn't fair to the others. Even if it were plausible, it'd be no fair to Epzi, who was also denied a metagame. I respected him for admitting when his character was beaten so I can't just give someone else a pass where I refused to another.

If you're going to have Mushoku become a new race, maybe you should take this as a kill by Raian's hand and then come up with a way for him to be reborn in that new race form.
