Totem

Component:

The last acorn dropped from an elder oak

The sorcerer places the acorn into their mouth (or the mouth of their target). They transform into a unique animal shape representative of their soul’s totem.

  • Talk to the GM about what this totem is, or randomly determine it using the chart on the facing page.

  • While in this form, the target’s attributes are all +0.

  • Tests of fate related to actions the totem is known for are made with a +5 bonus.

  • The transformation is near instantaneous, but it transforms neither worn items nor carried objects, which fall to the ground around the target.

Spitting the acorn out ends the spell. So, whenever the target wants to talk, eat, drink, or pick something up with their mouth, the spell ends.
