Contingent Polymorph Other
(Alteration)

Range:  5 yards per level
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  7
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell will polymorph one creature (as per polymorph other) into another until some set condition occurs, eg. polymorphing a toad into a prince until he is kissed by a woman, or polymorphing a fighter into a dragon until he (it) says "I wish I were human", etc. The change from the polymorphed form back into the normal form takes place gradually over 1 round, so it is impossible to crush someone by polymorphing a hippo into a flea, putting it on his head, then triggering the contingency. The material component of the spell is a bit of honeycomb.
