Polymorph
Polymorph
Magic Resistance: Yes
Prerequisites: Eldritch Rank 6
Disciplines: Transmutation
Potency: [1d8 + Eldritch Rank]
Cast Action [CT 7, REC 6]
Components: V, S, M [an empty cocoon]
Cost: 2 Resolve Burn
Duration: 1 Phase or until dismissed, dispelled or disrupted.
Upkeep: Spend 1 Resolve Burn to increase the duration by 1 phase.
Range: 50 ft
Target: One willing living creature within range.
Effect: You alter the physical form of a creature drastically, and Polymorph the target, transforming it into a Simple Animal or Beast of your choice (see limitations below). While in this new form, the target retains its own hitpoints and gains temporary hitpoints equal to the maximum hitpoints of the chosen form. The target does not gain the skills or languages of its new form, instead retaining its own (though it may not be able to speak or use its skills effectively in the new form), but it does gain the attacks and other abilities of the new form. Any gear or equipment carried by the target (except artifacts and intelligent items) melds into the new form, becoming inert. The target remains in the new form until the spell ends or its temporary hitpoints are reduced to zero, at which point the target reverts to its normal form.
You may only transform a target into an animal or beast whose level is less than or equal to your own, and you must have personally seen the creature at some point. The form must be Diminutive to Large in size. Additionally, this spell does not allow you to transform a target into a Complex or Legendary creature.
Alternatively, you may use this spell to return a creature that has been permanently Polymorphed back to its normal form. The duration no longer applies and the effect is permanent.
