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.
-
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
-
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.
