	By lying flat against the earth, and inhaling deeply, the dragon can have the ground swallow him up so that he is buried beneath the surface. Anything on the surface (grass, cobbles, etc.) will not be disturbed or displaced, and he will be buried just deep enough that all of him is at least a foot underground. While interred he cannot move and is unaware of anything happening above ground, but he can breathe and sleep. If he moves at all, the effect ends as the earth expels him forcibly. He can remain underground for up to a month at a time, though the spell gives him no special protection against hunger or thirst. This spell can only be cast if there is a sufficient body of loose soil or earth to accomodate him.

	Changing your form takes an hour of uninterrupted meditation, and you can change into any form you have mastered, or back into your own form.

If the meditation is interrupt you snap (painfully) back into your own form. When you adopt the form, you appear exactly as the form at the time of study, naked and unequipped. The changes that take place are in physical form only - you retain your own ''Pneuma'' and ''Sophis'' sphere ratings, and gain the target's ''Soma'' sphere rating. This cannot cause your ''Soma'' sphere to increase - if the target's ''Soma'' is higher than your own, you retain your own ''Soma'' sphere instead. You gain any natural weaponry (such as poisonous bites, claws etc.) but not any supernatural benefits (no birthrights or magic, etc.)~~. Specifically, taking the form of a Hunter Dragon does not give you the benefits of improved claws or toughness, as this is as much a supernatural quality as a physical one~~.

	* '''~~Resource~~'''		* '''Integrated Identities'''
	25 years.		At 25 years into the Lifepath, a Physical Adept will have established identities for his polymorph forms that are integrated into society in some way. It is up tot the character whether these identities are false ones, or if he is known to be a polymorphed dragon. An example of an integrated identity might be, for example, that his human form has a house, friends who know him by name and a small supply of human currency.


	* '''~~Resource~~'''		* '''Roles of influence'''
	50 years.		At 50 years into the Lifepath, a Physical Adept will have established positions of moderate influence for his identities, as well as adding layers of complexity and relationship to the identity's societal context. For example, the human form may now have a wife (though no children, of course), and be recognised as a wealthy nobleman, with the lands and influence to go with this.


	* '''~~Resource~~'''		* '''Roles of power'''
	100 years.		At 100 years into the lifepath, the Physical Adept has the option of having his identities adopted roles of power in society. For example, his human form may now be recognised as baron of a domain, with a small standing army and tax collection from his serfs. The Physical Adept can also layer additional levels of subterfuge at this stage in his Lifepath to reinforce his fake identity.

If you roll less successes, the eye of revelation still reveals that the target's form has been magically altered, but the target's usual appearance is not revealed.
