Therianthropy

History
Cambià u Corpu, commonly referred to as therianthropy, or beast Magic, is an ancient Magic that dates back to prehistoric times. Beast Magic is commonly referred to as shapeshifting to non Magic folk, and can come in a variety of different forms. The most common, however, are witches who may turn into small animals, or one specific type of animal. Beast Magic is one of the only kinds of Magic that cannot be taught, and must be passed down through the blood line; the exceptions, however, are those who have been cursed with this kind of Magic. Throughout history, there have been very few who have been cursed, and even fewer that are able to cast Beast Magic as a hex.

Uses
Notable Beast Magic users are Malachi, and Jacques.
