Bonding
Bonding is the ability to bond with the spirits of various animals, ranging
from the mundane to the fantastic. When one bonds, they are forming a sacred,
spiritual link that is so connected, the characteristic of that animal will
manifest itself partially in the physical sense. You might find yourself with
the claws of a Jaguar or the wings of an Eagle for a temporary time, though
individuality is never lost. To begin the process, BOND <animal>. Once you have
successfully bonded, you will find it is great a strain on you to stay this
way. If you stay in a form for too long, you'll fall out of it and be unable to
morph again for a couple of minutes. RELEASE will bring you out of the form at
your command.
