Causes monstrous horns and talons to grow from the caster's body, granting them a chance of making an extra attack in melee. It is not powerful enough to enhance appendages that are already nonhuman. For Octopodes: Causes a vicious spike to grow from one of the caster's tentacles, increasing the damage of their extra tentacle attacks. It is not powerful enough to affect tentacles which are already mutated. |
Beastly Appendage is a level 1 Transmutations spell which briefly gives you the following temporary combat enhancing mutations, melding armour in the process:
- Horns 2 - grants an auxiliary headbutt attack, melding helmets.
- Talons 2 - grants an auxiliary kick attack, melding boots.
Several species have restrictions on which mutations they can gain from this spell:
- Species that lack humanoid feet (nagas, palentongas, and felids) cannot gain talons
- Due to their hybrid nature, merfolk also cannot gain talons from Beastly Appendage.
- Octopodes, being incompatible with either mutation, gain a spiked tentacle 3 instead.
The duration of these mutations is dependent upon your spell power. Casting the spell again extends the duration of your current mutations.
Transmuters begin with this spell memorized.
Strategy
Beastly Appendage can significantly improve the combat capabilities of low-level transmuters. In the early game, both boots and helmets are quite rare, so melding these aux armour slots shouldn't be noticeable.
Technically, Beastly Appendage does not give any bonus to Unarmed Combat. Transmuters can feel free to wield and train a strong weapon... though further Transmutations do boost UC.
