A versatile tradition of magic, Alteration spells work by augmenting a target’s existing capabilities or by bestowing onto it new ones.

Such spells can confer the ability to breathe underwater, to climb like a cockroach up any surface, or make incredible leaps. Although sometimes overlooked by those seeking flashier spells, Alteration magic provides its users with a large toolset from which they can draw to handle a variety of challenges and complications.

Studying Alteration magic can sometimes have unintended consequences. Legends tell of masters of this art who reflect the nature of the magic in their form and appearance, as blemishes fade or distinguishing features vanish. Others display minor physical changes, shifting skin coloration or facial features so that they no longer resemble who they once were, or more profound effects such as the appearance of scales, fur, and other visible features.
