Beastform/ Transform Greater Creatures

Self-mastery allows the magus to change into animal forms of her approximate size and mass;  she could, therefore, become a deer, but not an elephant.  If the beast possesses powers like flight or water-breathing, those abilities must be worked into the spell, too.  At this Rank, the spell is problematic (see "Shapeshifing"), but useful.

Greater creatures -- lions, dragons, men -- now become clay on the witch's wheel; a dog could grow wings, or a man could become a woman.  The subject still retains its essential nature, but may be reshaped in surprising ways.
