Long Shifting
| This merit is not allowed
|
The mage is particularly comfortable in the animal forms he assumes, and his magic lasts longer than other mages who lack his mastery of shapeshifting. A mage with this Merit can worry less about awkwardly timed transformations back to human form (while the mage is flying as an eagle, for example), and he need not worry about the strain of repeated casting under circumstances where recasting a spell might be difficult.
For purposes of determining how long the mage can remain in a magically assumed form, count the mage’s understanding of the Life Arcanum as two higher than it actually is. This explicitly gives the mage access to Advanced Prolongation for all spells that shift his own flesh.
