Form of the Great Hunter

Muto Animal 10
R: Pers, D: Sun, T: Ind
The caster, if in a predator's form, becomes a more impressive version of their species. They become larger, sleeker, and healthier looking. Their size increases by +1 (including +2 Str and -1 Qik, and changing wound thresholds), and may receive a small social bonus to others of their own kind. (Base 4, +2 Sun)

The Beast's Stony Hide

Muto Animal 20
R: Pers, D: Diam, T: Ind
Despite the name, this spell is not tied to the form of Terram. It makes the fur or feathers of the caster in animal form become thicker, stiffer, harder to cut and more resistant to impact, granting a +3 to soak. The massive ruff of fur surrounding them will often make the caster look a bit... silly. The spell has no effect on creatures without significant fur, like reptiles.
(base 15, +1 Diam)
Notes: Using translation from MuCo 15 base.

Assume the Perfection of the Great Beast

Muto Animal 30
R: Pers, D Sun, T: Ind
The caster, if in predator's form, transforms into a more powerfully muscled and fiercely armed version of their species. Their jaws become fiercer, their claws sharper, their hide thicker. This gives them a +3 to attack and damage scores, and a +2 to soak scores.
(Base 15, +2 Sun, +1 complexity)
Notes: [Based on Steed of Vengeance, but for predators. Decided on +3 attack and damage, but no bodily stress. Also added a magnitude for a small soak bonus.]

Gift of the Leo

Muto Corpus [Animal] 20
R: Pers, D: Diam, T: Part
The caster's hands turn into the massive mauling limbs of a lion. This gives their unarmed brawl the statistics of Large Claws (Init +o, Attack +5, Defense +3, Damage +4)
(Base 10, +1 Part, +1 Diameter)

Hekates Dark Gift

Muto Corpus [Animal] 25
R: Per, D: Sun, T: Part
Draping a wolf-skull mask over the target's head as part of the casting, they gain the beastial head of a wolf. For the duration, they can bite as a wolf(Teeth: Init 0, Atk +3, Def +1, Dam +1), and gain the wolf's Keen Sense of Smell and Sharp Ears. Speech is usually impossible without additional spells.
Base 10, +2 Sun, +1 Part

Spells from other books

Clothe the Naked Form

CrHe 10
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Ind
Creates an individual garment made of linen or cotton, most commonly undergarments such as the chainse or braies Finesse roll determines the quality of the clothes; an Ease Factor of 6 results in a garment of standard quality. If an Ease Factor of 9 is achieved then the caster can specify the brightness of the dye and any regional variations in style. Julia uses this spell rather than The Tailor’s Craft Done in an Instant when she has no cloth at hand.
(Base 1, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +2 treated and processed)

Voice of the Bestial Magus (As Voice of the Bjornaer Magus)
