This is a Totem ritual. The target must sacrifice some blood in the ritual; this costs a healing surge. In addition, he takes on slight features or traits of his totem, from just a beastly demeanor to pointed ears, beast eyes, animal teeth, or even a vestigial tail. The benefits depend on your totem.

The benefits depend on your totem.

Totem	Benefit
Gatherer	Once per round you can take an extra minor action taken from the list of minor actions in PH, chapter 9 Combat. You cannot use this bonus action for powers that use minor actions.
Grazer	Temporary hit points equal to your level. These return after each short rest.
Hunter	+1 speed.
Pouncer	+2 Initiative
Prey	You can take move actions (only) in a surprise round even if you are surprised.
Stalker	Move up to normal speed without penalty when using Stealth. You must still make a Stealth check in a round you move more than 2 squares, but you do so at no penalty.

The duration depends on the result of the Nature check, and you can end it at any time as a minor action.
