Once Maladicted the shifter just says in his airform and chases you around because by that time you just got chewed up by his offensive form and didn't bust damage on him because you have to waste two rounds with dirt then the rest of the rounds trying to maladict to little or no effect besides shifting damage.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).
