The following pages contain a list of known forms transmuters have managed
to shift into. This list may be incomplete, but is a fairly extensive list
for the young transmuter to consider when making the choice of his or her
path.

The following are land-based forms that are primarily offensive in
their abilities.
Major Offense
-------------
Lion- Those who have become lions are able to deal out a punishing
amount of damage to the victim. Their bodies are able to sustain
minimal attacks, but not for long.
Ram- The ram unleashes an awe-inspiring headbutt which hits the
opponent with deadly ferocity. However, it is known to have a very
weak hide and cannot handle the beatings.
Tiger- This orange cat with black stripes is the more defensive-oriented
animal in this category. It has the ability to attack and deal damage,
but not as much as the other two. However, its a quicker beast, and
its skin is tougher and able to withstand attacks caused by others.
Minor Offense
-------------
Boar- The boar is the ideal animal to have in a young group. The
ability to gore someone with tusks is truly remarkable. However, with
all the positives, this creature cannot handle its own in a fight.
Wolf- Wolves are known to being quick and hard to attack.
Matter-of-fact, those who know the secrets behind a wolf are able to
attack with their claws and also keep themselves from being hit. It is
more defensive then the boar is.

You do not see that here.
<100%hp 100%m 100%mv> read defense
The following are land-based forms which are primarily defensive
in their abilities.
Major Defense
-------------
Porcupine- Sharp quills and a tough hide has always made others fear
this animal. It is very hard to hurt and its ability to shoot sharp
quills marks this creature as one of the best.
Mongoose- A truly remarkable animal. One which protects itself by
biting at the oncomer. It has the best defenses between the three
majors.
Armadillo- The armadillo is very healthy and very hard to hit. With the
ability to last a long time in a fight comes the ability to make others
fear and respect you. It has the least defenses of the three, but is
the healthiest.
Minor Defense
-------------
Tortoise- This spectacular creature has its shell to protect it from
harm and also a long life-span. A loner's favorite due to its
protective shell, but unable to do very much damage at all.
Hare- Almost the complete opposite of the tortoise. The hare is quicker
and more agile and would be more welcomed by those who need another
attacker.
<100%hp 100%m 100%mv> read utility
The following are land-based forms which possess abilities not easily
classified into offense or defense, such as stealth or quick movement.
Major Utility
-------------
Gazelle- A gazelle can run for miles before tiring. A person who likes
to search the wide-world all over would definitely want this form.
Fox- A delightful creature that is a must for those who like to hide
and fight on occasions.
Wildcat- The wildcat can hide and run at the same time. It can attack
whenever the person sees fit and then can hide. A very tactical
creature must like the fox.
Minor Utility
-------------
Cat- A fun creature to have. It isn't very healthy, but it is very fast
and has a tough skin.
Racoon- An animal that has the ability to steal. It is very healthy
and very fun to transform into.
<100%hp 100%m 100%mv> read air
The following are airborne forms capable of high-altitude flight.
Major Air
---------
Falcon- Little is known of this sleek bird. There have been some who
have mastered the form, but they ended up being gone with the wind. One
thing to note, is that it is very fast and can use its claws to its
advantage.
Eagle- Again, little is known, but the eagle has a stronger skin then
the falcon, but attacks less.
Minor Air
---------
Hawk- The hawk is a graceful animal. It isn't known for strength, but
rather speed. Any person who wants a quick getaway would immediately
welcome the chance to study this form.
Albatross- A bird of the seas. This flying animal has immense
strength and is very healthy. A wonderful addition to any who wish to
explore.
<100%hp 100%m 100%mv> read water
The following are aquatic forms, unable to function on land.
Major Water
-----------
Great White Shark- The shark is the most lethal creature on the face of
Thera. The teeth of the shark can render a person immobile before the
jaws can finish them off.
Manta Ray- The Manta Ray is also known as an hard hitter, but is
usually more cunning then an attacker.
Rumor has mentioned another form being studied, but what this form
is still remains a mystery.
Minor Water
-----------
Sea Turtle- A very strong and healthy creature, but very, very, slow.
It is a form one would want if travelling through treacherous areas.
Sea Snake- Very, very, fast creature. One that can be used for a
variety of things.

Occasionally, a transmuter of profound skill is granted a blessing
by the God of Magic himself. These forms are supreme in power, and
transmuters in the past who have wielded them have been mages of
the highest esteem.
