Dionysus' Gift
( • • • • or • • • • • Life,  possibly with • • • Matter or Forces) Cult of Ecstasy Tradition Book  67
The god of wine, women and song was also an accomplished shapechanger and transmuter.  He escaped capture by turning pirates into dolphins and himself into a lion, and often changed those who offended him into animals or plants.  Some Ecstatics, notably the Maenads and Fifth World Tribe, carry on Dionysus' legacy.

[These various Effects work as per the Lesser Shapechanging, Animal Form and Perfect Metamophosis Life spells.  Working Matter or Forces into the magick will change live creatures to inanimate matter or energy, See page 187 of Mage Second Edition for details.]
