Metamorphosis

Spiritual (transmutation) 4th level

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a caterpillar cocoon)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

The spell transforms a creature you can see within the spell's range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on a shapeshifter or a creature with 0 hit points. The transformation lasts for the spell's duration or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or the target's level, if the target doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's stat block, including mental attribute values, are replaced by the chosen beast's stats. He retains his personality.

The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it returns to its normal form, the creature returns to the same number of hit points it had before transforming. If the transformation reverses as a result of the target dropping to 0 hit points, all excess damage is carried over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the target's normal form to 0 hit points, it doesn't fall unconscious.

The actions the creature can take are limited by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or perform any action that requires hands or speech.

The target's equipment merges into its new form. The creature can't activate, use, hold, or otherwise benefit from its equipment.
