Description¶
The Polymorph Other spell is a powerful magic that permanently alters the form of the creature affected. Mental attributes are not affected, and the target does not receive the special abilities of the new form. Most physical attributes, however, are changed to adhere to the new form. This is a specific version of the spell in that the recipient will be transformed into a squirrel unless a save vs. petrification/polymorph is made successfully. The transformation is instant and permanent until a Dispel Magic is cast successfully upon the affected creature. All clothes and equipment the target was wearing will mold into the new form.
