Effects

With this spell, the caster can force any shapechanger or magic-wielder using any form of ashapechanging spell to instantly revert to his true form (or his most common form). To use the spell, the caster points at creatures he knows or believes to be shapechangers. If the creatures are indeed shapechangers, they must make a successful saving throw or immediately revert to their true form and suffer 3-30 (3d10) hit points of damage from the wracking pain caused by the forced change. The change takes a full round, during which time a victim can take no other actions. If the saving throw was successful, the victim does not change form, but still suffers half damage (2d10/2).
