Transform

 WYVERN TRANSFORM
 WYVERN UNFORM
 DESCRIBE WYVERN <description/OFF>

Your superior connection to Nature's animals allows you to assume the physical form of her most fearsome creature -- the Wyvern. Your transformation is significant; you will sprout wings, a tail, talons, and a mighty draconic snout. Your new form will allow you to take advantage of a number of impressive skills and techniques.

You may customize the appearance of your Wyvern form.

The intricacies of your draconic snout are no match for your superior speech skills -- You may speak freely in any of your learned languages.

 BELCH [ICE]

Requires: 10% ice

Your draconic form is capable of summoning and maintaining stores of ice and fire, to a certain limit. Each can be used in elemental attacks, consuming a bit of your store in the process. The two conflicting elements may coexist, but your capacity to maintain each will be halved as long as they are both present. Belching will eliminate your stores of either or both without penalty.

Icebreath freezes the ground or eliminates a firewall. If targetted at a person, it will freeze and deal cold damage.

Each attempt to summon ice fills up your reserves by 30%. It is possible to maintain fire and ice reserves together, but you will be only be able to fill your capacity up to 50% of each.

Shock

 STING <target> SHOCK

Your tail's capabilities go beyond that of any mere Akrabi. By sending your target into a state of toxic shock, you will cause the next toxin or sting effect dealt to him or her to resurge after a brief delay. The shock will subside after a successful resurgence. If unused, it will eventually wear off. You may not resurge the shock effect.

As a wyvern, you have access to a number of auras: passive shrouds for your body that provide beneficial effects. Only one aura may be active at any time. The moon aura provides a 20% chance to return a toxin hit on your body back to your attacker. In this case, both of you will receive the affliction.

Bloodpoison

 STING <target> BLOODPOISON

Poison your target's very blood, causing all sting attacks to deal additional damage. This effect may stack up to 4 times.

Bloodpoison from each Wyvern is unique - if you attempt to poison a target who is affected by another player's bloodpoison, the poison replaces the old one instead of stacking with it.

Expend a significant amount of stored flame to melt a target's armour, greatly reducing its efficacy and dealing damage to your foe.

Poisonmind

 STING <target> POISONMIND

Your tail's poisons will throw your target's brain chemistry out of whack, making it significantly more difficult for him or her to reduce the buildup of bloodpoison. Any attempts to cure bloodpoison will instead cure a random mental affliction.

Rupture

 STING <target> RUPTURE

If your target's blood is sufficiently poisoned, send a fatal venom in to do the job in the messiest way you know how. Kills the target instantly if you have stacked bloodpoison four times. This ability does not trigger the toxic shock effect.
