Transmutant

Transmutant is an Advanced Mage Specialization. Much like how Shifters are Druids who take their shape-shifting to their logical extremes, Transmutants are transmuters who focus on the ability for magic to change their very essence, those around them, and even reality itself. This allows them a wider variety of shifting and support abilities using their magic and self-transmutation spells, but typically means their spell selection becomes more easily jumbled.

Most transmutant forms are based off of the Shifter ^[1a,1n] and Druid ^{[2a,2n,3a,3n]} versions, and work as such unless otherwise noted.
