Example Messaging:	You gesture. Your hands clench and unclench, seeking a weapon to wield. Radiating with power your hands begin to transform into the claws of a mighty cougar. A sharp but passing pain runs through your hand as you no longer feel the skills of the cougar reside within.

Notes

• Functional brawling claws only added if you do not have them already. E.g. Prydaen.
• RT reduction can lower roundtime below the normal minimum for a weapon, although there is always a minimum of 1 second roundtime.
