Notes

1. Cast on a single Target Being, who must be a Bear Cultist, Bear or Werebear.
2. For Duration Target has the Thievish Abilities of a Bear of AL given by Throw; i.e. the following bonuses to M on Th Activities: HS 5AL %, MS 5AL%, AfB, AfS, AbS 5AL%, DetH 10AL%, DetMM 10AL%, Hear 20AL%, Scent 30AL%, Track 10AL%, Jump 10AL%, ClW 10AL%.  Target does not however count as a Bear (unless he already is one).
3. Target must make or participate in a kill and drink the blood of the kill before expiry of Duration (including any Extensions) or will take minuses to the Thievish Activities listed above of the same amounts (but negative) as the bonuses for an indefinite period after Duration expires until he does make or participate in such a kill and drinks its blood.  The Spell may be recast on him to set off against the minuses, but he must then make two kills; one for each Spell.  It is not necessary to make the kill with one's bare hands or teeth, though Target may feel a strong urge to do so.  The kill may be of a fish, in which case Target must eat the fish rather than drink blood.  As an alternative to a kill, Target may raid a beehive, ant or termite nest and consume the honey, ants or termites.
4. Multiple Casts of the Spell on the same Target are not cumulative in effect (except to set off against a negative effect as per 3. above).  Only the highest AL given by T applies.  However, one kill must be made for each Spell in order to avoid the effect of 3. above.
