Transform Body

Special
Take the form of another sapient race. Each race is a different spell, to
be learned separately. The caster may only learn the form of a race with
which he is familiar. Clothing, jewelry, and armor do not vanish when the
transformation occurs; a caster who fails to shed rigid armor may be
painfully squeezed (see Corpulence (VH)).
The caster acquires only the physical traits of the new form, keeping his
original mental traits. Note that Fatigue Points are not increased for
spellcasting purposes. The energy cost of this spell depends on the point value of the
assumed form’s physical traits; it costs 1/10 of the form’s cost to cast and
1/20 to maintain, with a minimum of 5 to cast and 2 to maintain.

Duration: 1 hour.
Cost: Varies (see above).
Time to cast: 1 minute.
Prerequisite: Alter Body and three forms of Shapeshifting (VH).

Item
Jewelry. The item must bear the likeness of the shape to be taken; usable
only by mages. There is no cost to maintain the spell, but the caster cannot
change back unless he still has the item; otherwise, a Remove Curse spell must
be used if he is to regain normal form.
Energy cost to create: 1,500.
