ALTER FORM

Tassencellab

Alter Form changes the form of a target area into whatever shape the caster wishes that area to take. It gives seeming life to the target area while it forms into it's new shape. Everything within the target area is affected equally and may become a mixture of substances into one body or form. Alter Form has been called Spallek Corshf and Quilletf.

Intelligent and semi-intelligent, animalistic intellect, instinctive intellect, Manc, elemental, undead, nor individual plants can be affected. Plant life can only be affected if the target area consists of a plant form, which covers the area in a carpet or smoothing fashion (i.e. grass areas, ivy covered rock etc.). Water is affected but tends to reshape more quickly (Duration is quartered), and gasses or air are also unaffected as is fire.

The caster can shape the area into whatever they desire, but can not reduce or increase its total mass. An area of grassland could be made into a tall pole, but the surrounding grass and soil would be pulled up to make the pole and would leave a bare patch of broken soil behind. The caster's Level determines how long it takes to reach the desired shape or form. The minimum time taken is a mere Movement of the hands, but this time is doubled for each Level under Magi Level. A High Forward takes 2½ Rounds to shape an area, whilst an Acolyte (Level 1) takes 5 Rounds. Once the Duration has ceased the area returns to it's natural state as if nothing had happened.

Whilst shaping or forming, the caster must be able to see at least most of the target area, depending on its size. The caster can always cast Alter Form on a smaller target area. The maximum target area that can be affected is indicated on the table below (for lengths of sides of the square and cubic feet affected).

To erase the effect of Alter Form, Banish Manc or Restoration can be used. Free Movement will allow anyone trapped by an Alter Form Manc to be able to leave freely. Another Alter Form could be used to return the target area to its former state, or just alter the current form into a different one, but partly depends upon each caster's power and ability. Generally, any Mancer over twice the Level of the initial caster can modify with another Alter Form at will. Mancers over the initial Level of the caster but under twice their Level must concentrate fully and need successful INT and END rolls to be able to modify or return the initial Alter Form at all.

Spell Casting:-

Vocals are unnecessary to successfully cast Alter Form, but decrease the Power Level by 1. Hand gestures, however, are more crucial and their absence increases the Power Level needed by 2.

Item Creation:-

The effects of these items are the same as for the spell by the same Mancer, the creator's Level determines size of targets area, and time to shape and form the area.

To create the items for Alter Form, both hand gestures and vocals are essential or a combined Power increase of three Levels is added to the item to be created.

The Mancer must stand in a Manc Triangle and using the vocals and hand gestures imbue the items with the Manc of Alter Form. A circle can be substituted but adds an extra Power Level to the difficulty. Oratory and artistry are both important for this Manc to work well.
