Polymorph

Time: Action Target: Any in Throwing Distance(8u)
Test: Tuning Concentrating Save: Artifice
Effect: Attack

You must choose a form for your target when starting this Ability, you can choose any creature with the "Easy" or "Moderate" Creature Tag (such as a Sheep or Animated Furniture.) The target gains no Upgrades of the chosen form, but can still appear as creatures that would have Upgrades.

You can attempt to copy the exact look of an creature or object. If you get a High Score on the Tuning Test, the target becomes a spitting image of your goal. If you get a Mixed Score, the target is passable at a glance. If you get a Low Score, the target is noticeably different from your goal. (Note that the target may need to perform Acting Tests when attempting to embody a target beyond look alone.)

The target's Artifice Save (though they can choose to Fail):

{..6} The target gains two Fleeting stacks of Polyformed.
{7..} The target gains one Fleeting stack of Polyformed (but may not transform.)

Targeting Objects

If the target is an object that is worn or held by a creature, the creature makes the above Save for the object.

If the target is an object not worn or held, your Tuning Score determines the effect instead:

[..6] No effect.
[7..9] The object gains one Fleeting stack of Polyformed (and it may not transform.)
[10..] The object gains two Fleeting stacks of Polyformed.

If the object is a non-magical object, you can transform it into:

Another inanimate non-magical object that is within one Size of itself.
A creature as described above. The creature will be an inanimate corpse.
If the object is a magical object, you can transform it into:

Another inanimate object that is within one Size of itself. It will retain its magical properties, unless doing so makes no sense, then its magic becomes dormant until it transforms back.
A creature as described above. The GM will play the creature as the magical object inhabiting it.

Note: transformed living creatures will always be animate, regardless of their target form.

For Reference:

Polyformed

Before reaching 2 Stacks of this Condition, there is no effect.
Once you reach 2 Stacks, you transform into a new creature as determined by the source of the last Stack of this Condition. Once transformed, you will remain transformed until you lose all Stacks of this Condition.

While transformed:

You must use your new form's Creature Sheet as your Character Sheet (replacing all your Stats, Skills, Abilities, etc.) with exception of the following:
- Keep your Shield, Health, and Vitality.
- Lose Concentration. Lose half the Fleeting stacks of all Status Conditions. When transforming back, you will again lose Concentration and half the Fleeting stacks of all Status Conditions.
- Keep your Social Stats and Social Abilities (but not your Social Skills.)
- Keep your mental faculties, though you will feel a subtle draw toward the creature's natural behaviors, including desires and fears.
Whenever you take Damage, reduce the Damage by 1 before applying your Defenses. You will then perform a Test using your Health as the Modifier (even if you reduced the Damage to 0.) If you Pass the Test, you remain transformed. If you Fail, you lose 1 stack of Polyformed and can choose to lose a second. If you have 7 or more Health, you can choose to automatically Pass the Test.

Upgrades:

Chaotic.
- TODO: Create a roll table. Caster then chooses to roll on that instead.
Lasting.
- You can choose to cast this Spell as a Concentration or Exhausting Ability. If you do, the target's stacks of Polyformed are Persistent. Reducing the target's Shield to 0 still ends the Condition. If you chose to add Concentration and lose Concentration, the target loses all stacks of Polyformed. If you cast this Spell using Concentration on a target you are already Concentrating on, you do not have to move up your level of Concentration.

Potent.
- Targets can gain one Upgrade of the form you chose.

:LiStars: Prestige Upgrades :LiStars:

Greater.
- You can now choose any creature with the Hard Creature Tag. When choosing a Hard creature, the target has the following limitations:
  - The target's Shield cannot exceed 12.
  - The target will lose 1 Shield at the end of each of its Turns.
