Description
Choose a Humanoid within range that you can see or hear. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed. While cursed, the target is shape-shifted into a Beast form for the duration. That form can be any Beast you choose that has a Challenge Rating of 1 or lower. The target's game statistics are replaced by the stat block of the chosen Beast, but the target retains its alignment, personality, Hit Points, and Hit Point Dice. The target is limited in the actions it can perform by the anatomy of its new form, and it can't speak or cast spells.
The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't use or otherwise benefit from any of that equipment.
The spell ends if the target is reduced to 0 Hit Points. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. When you cast this spell using a level 6+ spell slot, if the target has eaten your food or slept in your home within the past 24 hours, or if it has shown unkindness to another creature of the chosen form in the past 24 hours, it has Disadvantage on its saving throw and the effect is permanent unless removed by Remove Curse, Greater Restoration, or similar magic. You can also choose to end the spell by using an action to dismiss it.
A creature cursed permanently by this spell regains the ability to speak after it finishes a Long Rest.
