:Shapeshifting is as much art as science. That is perhaps why there are no rituals for shapeshifting. This path can be studied and learned by a dedicated sorcerer, but it can also be a natural talent. Shapeshifting could be genetic engineering or shamanism. It can also be a spontaneous gift to match a malleable personality with an equally malleable form.
