	The Shapeshifter is able to negotiate for the form of their contracted monster to allow for complete transformations. ~~This gives the Shapeshifter the ability~~ to ~~transform directly~~ into ~~the form of a contracted~~ monster. ~~The strength~~ and ~~duration of this transformation, as well as any abilities it gives~~, ~~are~~ based on the ~~amount of mana fueling the transformation~~.		The Shapeshifter is able to negotiate for the form of their contracted monster to allow for complete transformations. Shapeshifters learn how to partially or completely shapeshift into specific monster types. Partial shapeshifting is common; complete shapeshifting is much more difficult, and generally requires a relatively high (Sunstone+) attunement level, with varying difficulty based on the creature type.

	A skilled Shapeshifter can make use of [[Alteration mana]] to temporarily alter their physical form and appearance at will without the need for a contract, however without a contract they cannot rely on the attunement functions that automate some the process. A [[Quartz]] level Alteration spell could make general changes such as hair or eye color, a [[Carnelian]] level spell could alter the Shapeshifter's body to appear as a completely different person with the same general body structure, a [[Sunstone]] level spell could significantly alter a part of their body to create claws, gills, or scales, and a [[Citrine]] level spell could produce additional structures like extra limbs or wings—but without a contract with a creature that naturally possesses these appendages, the Shapeshifter would not have the skill or instinct to use them.

	Once a Shapeshifter reaches [[Emerald]] level they gain the ability to completely transform into a contracted monster, or even into a monster with which they are familiar but have no contract (given sufficient skill).

	Due to it being a contract-based attunement, the Shapeshifter attunement has the potential for faster rates of growth due the automatic mana usage that occurs to maintain the contracts that exercise and develop the attunement.

	The primary ability granted by the Shapeshifter attunement is creating contracts for physical transformations. Shapeshifters can negotiate with Spire monsters to create a contract where the Shapeshifter grants the monster a portion of their mana in exchange for mana, skills, and the ability to take on their features and forms. Shapeshifters can also make contracts with non-sentient monsters, and those unable to communicate, albeit with less complicated terms. Unlike other contract attunements such as [[Summoner]], the Shapeshifter must make their contract with the original monster, either in the Spire or a with a descendant of a Spire monster found in the wild. Once they go their separate ways the Shapeshifter would not be able to renegotiate the contract without either locating the original monster, or contacting them via other means such as a [[Wayfarer]] [[Communication\|Communication ~~mana~~]] spell.
