This vile spell can be cast only during the full moon and transforms its victims into beasts such as wolves, hyenas etc. These beasts are utterly under the control of the caster until he releases them, is killed or the spell dispelled. The victims must be asleep or otherwise helpless for if they move out of range of the spell while it is being cast it is negated. The caster must succeed in a contest of wills against the best Will save among the transformed creatures to control them unless they are willing. This is the saving throw mentioned above. These creatures are not were-creatures and have no damage reduction etc. They are merely beasts of the appropriate type who have the intelligence and Wisdom scores of the humans they once were. They cannot speak. The beasts cannot be of more than 2 HD.
