The form to be assumed depends on the level of the caster; of course, a caster can choose a lesser form if desired (see table).
| Caster Level |
Form |
|---|---|
| 9-10 | Gray ooze, crystal ooze, gelatinous cube |
| 11-12 | Mustard jelly, ochre jelly, slithering tracker |
| 13-14 | Deadly pudding (black, white, dun, or brown) |
| 15+ | Roper |
When amorphous form is cast, the caster's equipment, if any, melds into the new form. (In particularly challenging campaigns, the DM may allow protective devices, such as rings of protection, to continue operating effectively.) The caster retains all mental abilities, but she or he cannot cast spells or use psionic abilities derived from the psionicist class. A caster not used to a new form might be penalized at the DM's option (for example, a -2 penalty to attack rolls) until she or he practices sufficiently to master it.
Employing this spell does not run the risk of the priest changing personality and/or mentality. However, there is a 1%noncumulative chance per use of this spell that the spellcaster is permanently transformed into a ghaunadan (with attendant loss of priest abilities) when this spell expires.
The material component of this spell is a vial of ichor/fluid from the kind of amorph into which the priest wishes to transform.
Notes: Granted by the drow deity Ghaunadaur.
