Feline Form

This spell is similar to the 9th-level wizard spell shapechange, but it only allow the caster to assume the form of a feline or partial feline of any species. Those who cast feline form become the creatures they wish to and have all of their abilities save those dependent upon Intelligence, innate magical abilities, and magic resistance, for the mind of the assumed form is chat of the caster. The caster can change into a tressym and fly away, then to a sea lion to dive into a lake, and then into a wemic or dragonne to run across the plains. The first form adopted has whatever hit points the casting priest had at the time of the casting of the feline form spell, and subsequent forms carry the current total hit points with them. Each alteration in form requires only a second, and no system shock survival roll is required.

A priest adopting another form also adopts its vulnerabilities. For example, a priest who become a ea lion still cannot breathe out of the water for more than 24 hours. Like the shapechange spell, a priest who is killed while in another form does not revert to his original shape, which may disallow certain types of revivification.

The material components for this spell are locks of hair from three different species of feline.
