Appears that Jim realizes his own explanation is too damn complicated to . . . well, explain. Hehe.
A simpler alternative: If their human form has to be more than "just" an illusion, it is a physical body mass itself and the medallion more or less provides the necessary energy and control to shift between the two.
And as for clothes? 'Midform'? Yeah, Jim was just showing off on the previous page, but I guess the bottom line is it all depends on their state of mind (bringing to mind Michelle's comment from v.3 about "growing a tail" if she sneezed). That they eventually learn to control the 'triggers' that initiate a transformation from one body shape to the other.

Yeah, sometimes I think too much, but all other things equal, the simplest explanation is often best.
