Introduction
Whilst the World of Darkness is indeed home to some shape shifting monsters, a few sorcerers learn to alter their bodies through magical practice rather than inborn heritage. Perhaps it’s a spoken word that calls to the primal animal within or the intervention of an animal-spirit or even a little judicious genetic engineering. This Path is very elemental, often calling upon instinctive knowledge, and many sorcerers have lost their personalities to the beast-side conjured up. Others lose their identity in malleability. For a few, shape shifting is less an art than a natural talent, but one un-channeled by the callings of the true Changing Breeds. It seems that Shapeshifting comes in as many forms as its practitioners.
