This technique is taught to every student of the academy. Using this technique, the user assumes the form of a creature, object or animal of the same size category as they are or smaller. They may freely designate the specifics of their new form (such as height, weight, hair texture and color, skin tone, etc.). This transformation is purely cosmetic and an illusion. When you use a Charisma based skill action in an attempt to deceive, lie or misguide another creature, you use this new form, so long as it is relevant to your act, to enhance that lie with convincing movements and gestures.
