| This spell makes you temporarily replace one or a pair of appendages with an animal counterpart, giving you an extra attack. It is not powerful enough to meld armour. |
Beastly Appendage is a level 1 Transmutations spell which briefly gives you one of the following temporary Unarmed Combat-enhancing mutations:
- Horns - Prevented by use of helmets, but allows for an auxiliary headbutt.
- Talons - Prevented by use of boots or lack of feet, but allows for an auxiliary kick.
- Claws - Prevented by use of gloves, but deals more damage than a standard punch and may inflict bleeding.
- Octopodes gain spiked tentacles instead.
The duration of these mutations is dependent upon your spell power. Sadly, you cannot cast it multiple times to get all three effects; casting it again simply extends the duration of your current mutation.
Transmuters begin with this spell memorized.
Strategy
Beastly Appendage can significantly improve the combat capabilities of low-level transmuters, though its effectiveness depends on which of the mutations you receive; Claws and Horns are much more powerful than Talons. If you're willing to wear boots, leave your hand slot empty, and only wear a cap or wizard hat, you can guarantee that only the more useful mutations will occur.
