The mage conjures an element of change by casting this
spell. The caster then binds this pattern of change into his body. This spell
allows a mage to assume the form of any living creature. If the mage's greatest
physical attribute is 14 or less, this pattern can be successfully placed onto
the mage. Once the caster has successfully cast this spell, he can physically change
his body to resemble that of any other living thing. As a
transformation, the attributes of the new creature must not differ from the
target's original attributes by more than the result points of the spell.
The caster gains the mundane benefits associated with the new body, such as wings for
flight, gills for breathing water, fur for keeping warm, etc. The caster does
not gain any mystical abilities associated with a creature, such as a faeries' magic or a demon's power. A
mage cannot use this spell to take the shape of a specific person or creature.
While under the effects of the spell, the mage can change form at will. To
change form, the mage must concentrate, and visualize
the new form to be taken. It takes the body 10 seconds to complete the transformation.
