Fellow Sheen

Sidebar Mage vs Machine

When this spell is cast, the Wizard alters his form—including clothing and equipment—to resemble a sheen of a type previously seen by the caster. The caster's body undergoes a physical alteration, and his size can be changed up to 50%. Note that casters who change their size using casters fly (without additional magic), and those who lack a dasher allow the caster to move at breakneck speeds (without additional magic).

The caster's attack rolls, AC, and saving throws do not change. The spell does not confer the special abilities, attack forms, or defenses of the sheen mimicked. However, the spell does allow the caster to blend into a group of machines forever as long as the spell lasts. Thus, the Wizard could potentially penetrate the heart of a sheen infestation: a machine cyst. Once the sheen form is chosen, it remains for the duration of the spell. The caster can change back to his own form at any time, but this ends the spell immediately. Slain casters automatically return to their normal form.
