'PAWS OF THE CHEETAH' (2433)

Syntax: cast 'paws of the cheetah'

By widening their feet, hindpaws, or claws into the broad paws and strong
calves of a sprinting cat, a shapeshifter will acquire great agility for
dodging and evading attacks.  While their lack of combat training will
eventually catch up with them against very skilled opponents, against more
modest foes the body change is quite useful for dodging attacks.  The
caster's lower extremities must be bare for this spell to work, though felar
hindpaws are similar enough to the final form to ignore this restriction.

This spell is somewhat fatiguing to maintain, though heartier casters will
have an easier time of it.
