Arcane 5, Divine 5 Type: transmogrification

Range: 90’ Duration: 1 turn/caster level

This spell can transform one living target per caster level into the form of a boar for the duration of the spell. Each target must make a Spells saving throw. If the save succeeds, the target is not transformed. If the save fails, the target immediately gains the form, physical characteristics, and mental characteristics of boars. However, the transformed target will have the same number of hit points that it previously had in its original form. Otherwise, the transformation is total, including intelligence, behavioral traits, and mentality. Because of the low intelligence of its new form, the target will but dimly remember its former life, and unless persuaded otherwise by, e.g. a character with Beast Friendship or speak with beasts**,** it will simply engage in swinish behavior for the duration of the spell.

Neither incorporeal nor gaseous creatures can be targeted by this spell, nor can creatures of large size or larger. Creatures with shapechanging abilities such as doppelgangers can revert to their natural forms in one round. Despite its fanciful name, this spell is not actually a curse and can be dispelled by counterspell or dispel magic like any other spell.
