Choose a creature within range that you can see or hear. The targeted creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed. While cursed, the target is transformed into a Beast of your choice with a challenge rating of 1 or lower. The target retains its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, alignment, personality, and current and maximum hit points, but all of its other game statistics are replaced by those of its new form.   The target’s gear melds into the new form. The creature can’t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.   If the target has eaten your food or slept in your home within the past 24 hours, or if it has shown unkindness to another creature of the chosen form in the past 24 hours, it has disadvantage on its saving throw and the effect is permanent unless removed by a remove curse or greater restoration spell, or similar magic. You can also choose to end the spell by using an action to dismiss it.   A Humanoid cursed permanently by this spell regains the ability to speak and use their special traits and class features after a long rest, although they may be limited in the kinds of actions they can take by their new form.
