Your superior connection to Nature's animals allows you to assume the physical form of her most fearsome creature -- the Wyvern.

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.

Requires: 10% ice

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.

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

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.
