Level: Variable	Component Cost: Variable
Category: Exploration	Market Price: Variable
Time: 10 minutes	Key Skill: Arcana, Nature, or Religion
Duration: Variable

Select a particular type of creature when you learn this ritual. Each type of creature is a different ritual that must be learned separately.

When you use the ritual, the target turns into the selected creature, hereafter called the assumed form. This works like a power with the Assume Form keyword. While the ritual is in effect, remove the target from play and replace it with the assumed form. If the creature is of a lower level than the target, level up the assumed form using the normal rules for advancing creatures in level. The assumed form cannot be an abberation, leader, elite, or solo.

The duration of the transformation depends on the result of the ritual check

Arcana Check Result	Area
9 or lower	1 hour
10-19	3 hours
20-29	9 hours
30-39	1 day
40 or higher	3 days

The key skill depends on the assumed form. Arcana is applicable to creatures of the elemental, fey, natural, and shadow origins who are not beasts or undead. Nature governs beasts of the elemental, fey, natural, and shadow origins who are not undead, while Religion can be used for immortal creatures and for all undead. It is not possible to turn into a creature of the abberation origin using this ritual.

The level of the ritual, market price, and component cost depends on the level of the assumed form.
