Full Cost: 48 points.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 30 minutes.

The caster partially transforms his subject into an animal. The subject gains the Fish Tail meta-trait; see the footnote below for details. He cannot shift back on his own; he must wait for the spell to expire or be dispelled. (This does not change if the sorcerer is the subject.)

Notes: “Fish Tail” is Alternate Form (Fish Tail*; Magical, -10%) [32]. If turned into a “usually on” magical item (GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery, pp. 27-28), the wearer can shift at will but it takes 10 seconds to do so.
