When River loses his cool, his shape shifting flesh follows his emotional deregulation. His body becomes an unstable, crawling suggestion of a living creature. Toothy maws surface and sink into his skin, clawed limbs sprout and recede, and skin gives way to a kaleidoscope of scales, fur, and feathers.
His form, as chaotic as it looks, follows his unrestrained intentions.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are in your Alternate Form.
You are permanently and visibly transformed: in human form, his body is slightly "off" with some fingers longer than others, inverted rib cage, webbed toes, etc. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted..
Your appendages can reach an additional 30 feet.
You can squeeze through any cracks and passageways a cat would be able to.
You gain the following benefits at all times.

Phil extends vines along the ground which ensnare a target.
Use Brawn+Flora
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet. Roll Brawn + Brawl at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and any physical actions they take suffer a dice penalty equal to twice the Contested Outcome (except attempts to escape or break the binding, which only suffer half this penalty).
Restricted targets may escape their binding by spending an Action and taking a Severity-1 Injury. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet until the Injury heals.
You must retain Concentration to keep up the effect; if your Concentration is interrupted, the effect will end.
Charisma + Influence difficulty 7
Mind diff 6 to resist
Due to their ability to grant orders to mortals on behalf of the heavenly host, Chamael has the ability to issue simple commandments. When used outside of alternate form, a image of his alternate form shimmers over his body, wings outstretched, like a ghost-
A glimpse at his true self.
The affected target will act religiously fanatical towards chamael, bathed in a white glowing flame (harmless, euphoric, makes them feel I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN! THE NEW GOD PICKED ME feeling with hysterical glee)
Exert your Mind (unless Alternate Form is Active) and spend at least one Action. Select a number of Sapient targets equal to your Charisma within 20 feet. Your target may be actively engaged in Combat. Communicate a command to your targets. Roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6. The targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If the contested Outcome is positive, your targets will be compelled to follow your command to their best understanding of the letter and spirit of the command until they have completed it or for your Outcome in hours. You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
They will be unaware that they are under any sort of compulsion until the effect wears off, but they will appear obviously mind-controlled the entire time to anyone observing them. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.
Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action. You cannot order a target to "do nothing," and they are free to take other Actions as they fulfill your request. Your command cannot be obviously self-destructive. Commands may force a target to violate one of their Limits, and they will need to make a Trauma roll once the suggestion wears off.
You must have some means of communicating this command to your targets, but no one other than you and them will understand or perceive it.

This alteration lasts one minute but may be prematurely destroyed or altered. Your alterations may be broken through with appropriate tools. Anyone attempting to break through must roll Brawn + a relevant Ability. A cumulative Outcome of 6 across all attempts breaks a hole large enough to move through. See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.
