A living subject is transformed into another type of creature, as chosen by the caster:
The spell fails if the new creature's
HD is more than twice the
HD of the original creature.
The subject retains the same number of hit points.
The subject truly becomes the new form: all special abilities are acquired, along with behavioural patterns, tendencies, and intelligence.
The spell cannot be used to duplicate the appearance of a specific individual.
If the subject dies, it returns to its original form.
An unwilling subject may make a saving throw versus spells to negate the effect.
