question about enchanted items

[potestas]

what would a belt that transforms  wizard into animal cost.Under the enchantment rules. say into a wolf we have several examples in the books. I now the ritual would be costly and painful but what about an item that does it.

[Taran]

I'd skin an IoP as an item.  Especially if you are going to use it often. 

Or, you could break it up into many enchanted items.

Want to change into a wolf and sneak by an enemy, it's a stealth skill replacement.
Want to track someone using your dog scent? That's a tracking spell(investigation replacement. )

Want to run away? Athletics replacement. 

All narrated as turning into a wolf. 

An actuall item that works like shapeshifting might be too many shifts for an item as they are capped by your Lore skill plus focus

[Mr. Death]

The Paranet Papers have rules for shapeshifting via Thaumaturgy and, well... yeah, it gets expensive in shifts really fast.

For a full-on werewolf transformation, you're probably looking at 20-ish shifts. And under those rules, it's not a quick and easy change back.

So yeah, IoP or just the shapeshifting power is a much better idea.

IoP. This is the entire point of IoPs: "I have an item that does magic things."

Attach the build you want to the rebate, presto-chango, you're done. Easy peasy.
