Hawk-Owl Formula

E/F/M:

This Casting Effect confers the ability to move fast as a hawk or silently as an owl. There are two applications of this Spell:

The first simply places the dweomer on the subject without affecting form. Subjects so affected, even when wearing and carrying what they normally do, will be able to flap their arms and fly as if they were a bird, although the rate of movement they can achieve thus will be only twice their normal rate. Such subjects are able to negate the dweomer at any time they so will.

The second form of the Casting operates so as to transform its subject, along with all worn and carried, into an actual hawk or owl at the subject's discretion at anytime during the Time duration of the dweomer. Size will be large, a marsh hawk or great horned owl for instance. All abilities and senses particular to the form chosen are gained by the subject in this form, however, the subject, although able to change from hawk to owl or vice versa, must await the expiration of Time duration of the Casting to return to normal form, unless the dweomer is negated or dispelled by another.

Time duration can be extended by one Action Turn for each one point of additional Heka expended by the caster at the time of Casting activation.
