Katrine's Kitty Kat
(Alteration)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S
Duration:  1 day
Casting Time:  1 round
Area of Effect:  The caster
Saving Throw:  None

This spell transforms the caster into a house cat for a day, or until dispelled. The cat's fur will be the colour of the caster's hair, and eyes will match eyes. As the cat is considerably weaker than the caster nine times out of ten (the tenth being what is known as dead), it is not suggested that this be used as a combat spell. The caster must have a maximum Strength of 10, and cannot weigh more than 150 pounds for the spell to be able to affect her.
While a cat, the caster has a movement rate of 18, 1d2 claws, night-vision, keen hearing, and keen smell. Her Strength is lowered by -4 (to a minimum of Strength 1) and Dexterity is increased by +2. Her hit points are decreased by -2 per Hit Die, to a minimum of 1 HP per level.
While transformed, the caster is still able to speak, but not very well, and any spells requiring a verbal component will have a 50% chance of failure, -2% per level of the wizard. Somatic components will be close to impossible for anything other than cantrips. Material components, as long as they require little manipulation, are simple enough.
