Description
This spell functions as polymorph except that it allows the creature to take on the form of a dragon or plant creature. If you use this spell to cause the target to take on the form of an animal or magical beast, it functions as beast shape IV . If the form is that of an elemental, the spell functions as elemental body III . If the form is that of a humanoid, the spell functions as alter self . If the form is that of a plant, the spell functions as plant shape II . If the form is that of a dragon, the spell functions as form of the dragon I . The subject may choose to resume its normal form as a full-round action; doing so ends the spell.
