Title: Thaumaturgy to evocation?
Post by: N_Jones on December 17, 2011, 09:21:25 AM

In OW91, a note from Bob said "The 'werewolf spell' is a single complex form of ritual thaumaturgy boiled down and refined into an evocation requiring only an effort of will." Billy dissents from this viewpoint. I was just wondering if this is actually feasible, and if so, how would it be represented in game terms? Would you just purchase the beast change power in addition to thaumaturgy? Can this be done with any thaumaturgical effect?

Yep, just buy the power and flavor it as very powerful spellcasting.

Take Listens-to-Wind as an example, he almost certainly has True Shapeshifting.  In other words, he's such a practiced shapeshifter he can change shapes to nearly anything at will and without incurring stress.
