History & Secret Knowledge: The Path of the Animal Spirit comprises drawings in blood on the cured hide of a lion (not a species indigenous to the islands of Zanzibar). It is practised by the order of Wachawi and contains the following lore:
Speak with Animals (8
) allows the caster to communicate with any animal, though he will learn only that which is of interest to that creature.
Becoming (12
) physically transforms the caster into an animal that he or she is familiar with, retaining human intellect but gaining all the abilities of that animal.
