Alter Self

Alter Self
Ritual Rank 5 [Polymorph]
Prerequisites: Eldritch Rank 4
Potency: 25
Focus: A pewter locket, inscribed with arcane runes [Value: 25 gp] and a model of the type of creature you wish to turn into (a illustration, portrait, statue, or a creature itself).
Cost: 3 Resolve Allocation
Cast Time: 1 phase
Duration: Until dismissed, dispelled, or disrupted.
Effect: While wearing the locket, you spend 1 phase in deep concentration, focusing on the creature whose appearance you wish to emulate. At the completion of the ritual, a miniaturized version of your image becomes stored within the locket and your appearance is altered to mimic the race of the focus creature. The creature must be of the same Size as you and any clothing, equipment, and gear that you wield is unchanged. In this altered form you gain the Movement Modes and Senses of the new creature (and lose your own), but any other Racial Features remain unchanged.

If the locket is ever removed from around your neck, the ritual automatically ends.
