Alteration
Tier: 3
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: 1 major action
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: 1 min/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Your hide thickens, and black fur races across your back as you drop to all fours.

You adopt a powerful, animalistic form. Pick two of the following aspects:

• Aquatic Adaptation: You gain a swim speed of 40 ft, and a +8 bonus on swim checks.
• Water Breathing: You can breath water as if it were air.
• Thick Hide: Your hide thickens, or you grow thick fur or scales. You gain Resistance 3 to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage.
• Bestial Stride: You drop to all fours, and your base speed increases to 50 ft. This speed increase grants you a +8 bonus on jump checks.
• Deadly Weapons: You gain a natural weapon, as if you had cast Weapon of the Beast.
• Senses of the Hunter: You gain low-light vision and an inhumanly keen sense of smell. You also gain a +8 bonus on perception checks.

You gain the benefits of your chosen aspects for the duration of the spell. You can cast this spell multiple times to gain even more aspects, and the durations add together instead of overlapping. It is, however, very dangerous to give over so much control to the beast.

Augmentation:
If you cast this as a tier 4 spell, you gain Massive Wings as an aspect option. The wings replace your arms, but grant a 60 ft fly speed.
