While under the effects of the Dragonclaw spell, the caster's hands will grow hard and scaly, much like the skin of a dragon. This added toughness is manifested by a +10 increase to the caster's Unarmed Attack Factor (UAF). The caster will also be able to hit magical creatures without special equipment, and if a random flare should occur, the attack will bypass all of the target's magical defense, reducing their Unarmed Defense Factor (UDF). These effects apply to all unarmed attacks (jab, punch, kick, and grapple).

Training in Mental Lore, Transformation provides an additional +1 bonus to the caster's UAF at 1 rank, to a maximum bonus of +13 at 91 ranks (seed 1 of the Summation Chart).
