Wonimaohw
Today’s spell is Wonimaohw spelled W-O-N-I-M-A-O-H-W. Wonimaohw is a level two transmutation spell with an instant casting time and a duration of one hour. This spell may only be cast upon the self as it is used to alter the appearance, but unlike a glamor spell which only appears to make a change, this spell’s alterations are very real. There are three options for this spell which are chosen mentally when cast. The first is to alter the appearance which includes height, weight, facial features, voice, hair length and colorations and any distinguishing characteristics. The second option is aquatic adaptation where the body is altered for an aquatic environment by sprouting gills and growing webbing between the fingers and toes. The final option is to produce natural weapons like claws, fangs, spines and horns.
As you may have guessed by the sound of the spell, it is of native american origin most notably of the Shawnee tribe of Kentucky.
Wonimaohw is a favorite among children playing dress up and those whose jobs often find them in the water. While this spell sounds like it would be very powerful for deception, it is only as effective at mimicry as the person casting. But, even then, the task of resculpting the body to match every contour and subtle color of another is a monumental challenge that even the most skilled find difficult.
