Put more succinctly...


->The lion was gone. Below the cave all of a sudden [[{{Transflormation}} stood a high grove of trees]], black in the winter sunshine. The tiger, checking himself in midleap just before he entered the shadow of trees, caught fire in the air, [[ElementalShapeshifting became a tongue of flame]] lashing out at the dry black branches...\\
But where the trees had stood, a sudden cataract leaped from the hillside, an arch of silvery crashing water, thundering down upon the fire. But the fire was gone...\\
For just a moment before the fisherman's staring eyes, two hills rose - the green one he knew, and a new one, a bare, brown hillock ready to drink up the rushing waterfall. That passed so quickly it made Birt blink, and after blinking he blinked again and moaned, for what he saw now was a great deal worse. Where the cataract had been there hovered [[ScaledUp a dragon]]. Black wings darkened all the hill, steel claws reached groping, and from the dark, scaly, gaping lips fire and steam shot out. Beneath the monstrous creature stood [[EvilSorcerer Blackbeard]], laughing. "Take any shape you please, [[BlueCollarWarlock little Mr. Underhill]]!" he taunted. "[[BadassBoast I can match you]]."

->The next moment [[HumanoidAbomination the Beast]] was in the coils of a massive spotted anaconda, then [[BadassBookworm Alice]] was an eagle, then a huge brindled bear, then a horrific man-size scorpion with pincing legs and its venomous sting, the size of a crane hook, lodged in [[spoiler: Martin Chatwin]]'s back. Light flashed and crackled around them as they fought, and their struggling bodies rose from the ground. The Beast was on top of her, and Alice expanded hugely to become [[ScaledUp a limber, sinuous white dragon]] on its back, her enormous wings slapping the sand and sending everybody scrambling. The Beast [[SizeShifter grew with her]], so she was wrestling a giant.

->Air screamed and beat around him. He flung up his arms, fending off a flurry of [[NobleBirdOfPrey fierce golden eyes and and outstretched claws]]. The eyes, too like [[CourtMage Valoren]]'s, stunned him breathless for an instant. Then his thoughts, outrunning his own body to escape the wizard, pulled him after them; in the next breath, he knew he was elsewhere, he had done something, [[AchievementsInIgnorance but he was not certain what]]. The ground was flowing under him like water; the terrible eyes had vanished. Borne on the wind, or on the frantic rush of his own thoughts, a bird, a dead leaf, [[SuperSmoke a wisp of smoke]], whatever shape he had made for himself fled with him until the threat in his head diminished and he began to feel for his own shape again.

->[[TheBrute Visser One]] completed his morph. It wasn’t one I recognized, but it was monstrous. He was fifteen, twenty feet tall. Almost as tall as me! His arms and hands dragged the ground like a gorilla’s. His skin looked reptilian, weeping and seeping some kind of acid poison.
->My jaw racheted open and the sound that came out was so loud it shook the walls. The pain was unreal. Acid penetrating, eating my flesh! But by the time the scream was over, the pain had already gone. [[AdaptiveAbility My skin had morphed to meet the immediate need!]] I was covered with thick, scaly plates like an alligator.

->The barking of a greyhound made his fur stand on end. It was distant still, but quickly gaining ground - with a nose to follow his scent and legs that could match his speed.
->Time to trade overland speed for underwater propulsion. He dove into the stream, assuming the form of a fish, which felt so familiar to him now that he wasted no time in joining the nearest school. He felt safe among their number - until an otter bitch dived in among them, startling fish who broke to the left and right of him, leaving him as the sole target for the mighty mammal swiping at his tail. Thus, with only one option left to him, [[TheApprentice Gwion]] raced to the surface and leapt out, sprouting the swings of a bird as he took to the sky.
->But [[PhysicalGod Keridwen]] was better at this game of cat and mouse than Gwion ever was, and it wasn't long before he felt the sharp talons of a hawk striking at his feathered back.

->The speed of the changes was astonishing, and the watching children gasped with wonder, not daring to blink in case they missed the next new shape. Before them, the figure of [[SadistTeacher Master Gibble]] shifted endlessly, yet [[TheAce Finnen]] was not defeated. Shape for shape, he matched the Great Grand Wergle Master until the list of simple forms was completed and the specialist section of the tournament commenced. At once, Master Gibble became a cream-coloured ferret, but Finnen expertly eclipsed he move by wergling into a green-and-yellow frog. The ferret vanished and in its place was a newt, peppered with dark spots. Finnen's frog leaped over the newt's head, but when he landed, he had become a lanky-legged leveret that hopped madly about the platform, [[IShallTauntYou taunting the newt with an impudent jig]].
