Alchemy: Magical Elixirs III

Last four magical elixirs from GURPS Magic. Potion of Transformation changes the subject to the form of an animal. Potion of True Sight allows to see through invisibility and illusions. Potion of Water Breathing allows to breathe water. Potion of Water-Walking makes the subject able to walk on water.

Potion of Transformation

The subject changes to the form of an animal. Each animal form is a different elixir, to be researched separately. If the subject is knocked out or killed, he immediately reverts to his native form (which will also be unconscious or dead). The subject retains his intelligence, but gains all the physical attributes of the new form. Note that FP are not increased for spellcasting purposes.

This potion only works if the animal racial template is worth no more than the subject’s native racial template.
