This spell was designed to allow a wizard to look like something he does not for an extended period of time. It grants the non-magical locomotive powers, senses, and metabolic processes of the race of creature whose form is taken. However, a significant part of the spell is dependent on the specific creature whose shape the wizard wishes to assume. Thus, only one shape may be taken on by the wizard using this spell - ever.
When this spell is found (for instance, on a scroll or in another person's spell book), it already was custom designed by some other wizard to adopt a certain form (race, height, weight, hair colour, etc.), and nothing the finder can do will make it do otherwise. This is because the choice of creature vastly changes the structure of the Monomorph, and thus the choice of shape may only be made when researching the spell from the ground up.
When this spell is independently researched by a wizard, he gets to decide the specifics of the form the spell grants.
If any wizard wants to "change" an existing monomorph, so that a different shape can be assumed, he must head into a library and research this change as if it were an entirely new spell. The costs for this, though, are at -25% because the wizard has a copy of the other form of monomorph as a model. There is no reason why a wizard with enough time and money could not possess several "versions" of this spell.
When this spell is cast, the wizard is able to assume the form of a single bipedal humanoid (human, demi-human, faerie, goblin, etc.) with which race the wizard is familiar, but not any quadruped (for example, a centaur), wholly magical being (for example, a golem or demon), or other creature not relevantly humanoid. The wizard assumes the shape of one such creature upon casting the spell, and retains that shape until the spell ceases to function. He may cancel the spell before it would normally elapse, but may not alternate between the monomorphed and regular forms while the spell is functioning. Monomorph will allow changes as follows:

	Wizard's	Weight	Weight		Maximum
	Level	Minimum	Maximum	Races	Age change
	7-8	-10%	+10%	as wizard	none
	9-11	-20%	+25%	any known	10%
	12-13	-30%	+50%	any known	20%
	14-15	-50%	+80%	any known	40%
	16-17	-70%	+125%	any known	60%
	18+	-90%	+200%	any known	any

The colour of eyes, skin, and hair can be changed to any possible value, as can hair length, sex, and other details.
The body whose shape is assumed has the same physical statistics as the wizard, subject to all racial and age modifiers, minimums, and maximums (of the form adopted, of course). The new form will not radiate magic, but it may be dispelled.
