A massive, towering women’s sock & stocking factory is overtaking cities. Using magic to transform people into sentient, fabulous, durable, well-made socks and stockings. The factory is also ever expanding, using magic to take over cities. As it expands, it "assimilates" anything it touches, turning them something pertaining to the production of socks/stockings. People become sentient hosiery, while cars or other objects are made into machines like sock-weaving looms or thread spinners.
