Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting III

More Partial Shapeshifting spells! This time we have Serpent's Fangs, Skunk Tail, and Spider Arms.

Partial Shapeshifting (Serpent’s Fangs)

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 33 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 Serpent’s Fangs 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.)

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Serpent’s Fangs, +170%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [33]. Notes: “Serpent’s Fangs” is Alternate Form (Serpent’s Fangs*; Magical, -10%) [17]. 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.

* A new meta-trait: Toxic Attack 1d+1 (Contact Agent, -30%; Cyclic, 3 1-day cycles, Resistible, +15%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; Resistible, HT-4, -10%) [3]. 3 points.
