Lunars now have two ways to shapeshift. The first method is to drink the Heart's Blood of their prey, and the second is to spend one hour studying and watching it. Either way, the Lunar must spend a point of Willpower, and may choose to spend a point of experience. If they only spend the Willpower, they gain the form for a duration of (Their Essence) in hours, after which it fades away; if they are in that form at the time, they transform automatically back into a True Form of their choice. If they spend the experience, the form is permanently added to the list of forms that the Lunar can become. As usual, it is a die action to shapeshift, costing 3 motes.

General Rules: There are three Transformation Charms that Lunars can learn, each of which gives a new True Form. These three Charms follow their own rules, compared to normal Charms. Deadly Beastman Transformation is always Caste for Full Moons, Cunning Trickster Transformation is always Caste for Changing Moons, and Wise Savant Transformation is always Caste for New Moons. Multiple purchases of a given Transformation enhance it, but multiple Transformations are each providing their own True Form, and must be activated seperately from each other. The total number of instances of Transformation Charms that may be purchased is equal to the character's Essence, meaning that purchasing multiple types of Transformations results in multiple, weaker abilities.
