Beastmask

Beastmask may affect any single person or animal, or characters may cast it on themselves. It allows the subject to take on the illusory form of a single animal species--but only that species of animal can perceive the illusion. The subject may not assume an animal form more than twice or less than one-quarter the character's size.

The almost perfect illusion the spell creates deceives the animal's sight, hearing, smell, and touch. For instance, once a character casts a "bear" illusion on a subject, bears believe that subject to be a bear, while to humans, other races, and other creatures, the subject remains the same.

Characters normally use beastmask to travel among or hunt a particular species. This spell lets a druid assume the guise of a caribou to move among a herd without causing them to panic. A character also could avoid being attacked by a pack of dire wolves by wearing a wolf's "mask."

Beastmask does not allow communication with the animal species, though it can be used with animal communication spells.
