Animal crook

Crooks are magical implements of mischief which resemble the classic hooked shepherd's staff. Simply SWAT an adventurer WITH a CROOK to instantly transfigure the poor bastard into a weird barnyard animal. The life of a domestic animorph is not an easy one, but have no fear, the effect is transitory and wears off after a time. One interesting side benefit is that the willpower and endurance of one's target is instantly restored to full. Types of crooks include:

• Crook of the Master Donkey Wrangler
• Crook of Ovine Mastery
• Master Goatherd's Crook

If one's miserable beast-friend has had his or her fill of being a stranger thing, any aggressive action on their part will dismiss the anthropomorphic spell prematurely, restoring them to their original form.
