Assume aspect grants the Ranger beneficial characteristics of certain wild beasts.
Aspect Benefits
The enhancive effects of 650 are restricted by the same limitations as any other enhancive bonus.
Animal Companion Bonus
If a ranger assumes an aspect that is of the same category as his Animal Companion, he will gain an additional bonus while the effects of the aspect are active.
This gain applies to Animal Companions that are of the same category (canine, feline, avian, or rodent), but not necessarily to the same specific type as the Wolf, Jackal, Lion, Panther, Owl, Hawk, Rat, or Porcupine aspects.
Duration
A ranger is able to channel the spirits of nature for 10 minutes at the cost of 50 mana points by INCANTing or PREParing and CASTing 650. During this time, he can ASSUME any number of aspects, but no individual aspect may be used more than once in a 4 minute span. If uninterrupted, the benefits of any given aspect will last for 2 minutes.
After the initial cast, the first aspect can be assumed for no mana cost. Subsequent aspects can be donned at a cost of 25 mana.
Incanting or casting Assume Aspect again - while still under its influence - will refresh the spell for 10 minutes at a cost of 50 mana points.
