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