The druid can assume a variety of anthropomorphized forms, with new abilities inspired by the emulated creature. Druids cannot hold weapons while spiritshifted, but they can always cast spells. Shifting originally lasted for the duration of the combat or until you choose to shift back, but that is no longer the case. The exact duration is 15 seconds, increased by 5% for each point of the character's Intellect.

The spirit form is chosen during character creation, as part of class selection.

The actual damage is the Base Damage increased by 3% for each point of the character's Might. All Spiritshift claws, horns or teeth bypass 5 Damage Reduction.
