This spell alleviates the undesired effect of being unable to use one's own magic items after changing one's shape by polymorph, (druidic) shapechange, etc. This spell makes all those items available for use to the transformed creature even if the items are incorporated into the body - but be logical in what you intend to do (say, for example you shapechanged into a flea, then you obviously could not use your quarterstaff, +3 to any effect (as it is too small) but the ring of protection, +3 and the ring of fire resistance you are now wearing somewhere in your body still function normally). Items which release magical energy can still be used normally unless they require the item to be touched to a target other than the releaser (you couldn't, for example, use your potion of healing on a friend while being in flea form but you could use it on yourself - with normal initiative modifiers). Obviously, it would not be possible to use a long bow while being transformed (unless you had shapechanged into a creature which could use a longbow so you would probably also have no need of this spell then). Spell-like effects somehow leave the body of the transformed creature (maybe giving rise to some new legendary monster stories like the horribly mutated lightning bolt spitting, regenerating killer flea) if they have a range greater than touch, personal, or zero. If the creature is killed, all items have to save versus disintegration or be destroyed by the residual magic.
The material components are one small figure per item incorporated into the body, carved from granite picturing the original creature. These figures then have to be stoneshaped into a form which creates an interconnecting form in which all the figures are somehow linked with each other. Thus, it is not possible to pick up additional items unless the caster has provided surplus figures in the casting. Up to a maximum of one item per figure can be incorporated.
