A last ditch effort to evade an overwhelming force, with this spell a caster can transform himself into a completely normal member of his race. All of his stats become average for a member of the same race, he loses all of his class abilities, his body changes to another, very forgettable and average figure and all of his memories of who he is are wiped clean. The caster can, while casting the spell, influence the transformation somewhat and give himself specific features such as hair and eye color. This is far too uncontrolled to be used to actually impersonate someone, however it does allow some casters to blend into specific communities.

Once the spell is completed, the caster forgets everything about who he is. This is not total amnesia, as the caster’s mind fills in blanks about his life as he sees things. He immediately invents a name and begins creating a new life. If presented with a contradiction, for example if the caster believed himself to live in a town, only to learn that he does not, he simply changes the story without questioning the anomaly. The spell prevents the caster from challenging the situation, unless presented with overwhelming evidence by a second party.

When casting the spell, the caster may decide to intentionally shorten the duration. This must be done while casting, and the duration cannot be changed after the spell is cast under any circumstances. Only a Wish or a Miracle can restore the caster to his true form prior to the duration expiring. Upon the duration’s expiration, the caster turns back into his true form in one round, regaining all of his memories and class abilities. He retains all of his memories from the transformation.

Normalcy can be made permanent with Permanency.

Focus: A reflective surface which the caster must look into and see his own face in.
