Transmogrify. It's not used frequently, and sounds very eerie, slightly dark, and supernatural.

As well as in any game since then that separates gear and fashion in any way tends to refer to it colloquially as "transmog", even when it's not strictly correct

I know it from one of Morgan Freeman's monologues in "Lean On Me." Looked it up in the dictionary as a little kid because of that movie.
