Arcane 6 Type: transmogrification

Range: self Duration: 6 turns + 1 turn/caster level

This spell allows the caster to change into another form of living creature. The assumed form cannot have more Hit Dice than caster level and cannot have more than one special ability (*). The caster cannot assume an incorporeal or gaseous form, or the form of an enchanted creature, and cannot become a duplicate of a specific individual. If slain, the caster reverts to his original form. The caster must be man-sized or smaller when she casts this spell, or it fails to work.

While transformed, the caster gains the physical capabilities and characteristics of the new form while retaining his own mental abilities. He also gains all physical attacks and special abilities possessed by the new form. The caster will have the same number of hit points he previously had, regardless of the Hit Dice of the form assumed. The caster is sterile in his new form and cannot reproduce offspring. The new form will always be of around the same relative age as the original form. The caster can remain transformed for the full duration of the spell or may choose to end the spell whenever he desires.
