The doodling mechanic will come into play by letting you draw alternate shapes to morph into (on the fly) as you go about your business. Besides offering the expected boost to your melee combat, the different shapes will eventually let you perform more-powerful attacks, defend yourself more effectively, and, most importantly, access new areas.
