When the skin really ***weared***, the elf take the appearance of the creature, though the glamour of elf is seeping through, making him look more fair and majestic. While transformed, any equipment weared under the cloth will disappear until the cloth is removed.

If the skin get stolen, these powers are lost until the skin is returned. Destroyed skin can be replaced by making a new one, but elf can't create new skin if the previous one still exist somewhere. If the elf build the new skin from different animal or race than the previous one, he needs help from elf using skin of wanted form, but it can take months to persuade elf of different aspect that you are worthy of his help.
