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.
