(OOC - I went and looked at my sheet, and was horrified to see I hadn't picked spells after all this time. I think I was waiting for the Pathfinder shift, and wasn't expecting more combat. Anyway, I fixed up Whisper for Level 7 in 3.5...with the caveat that some changes will be made on upgrading to Pathfinder.

Barely cognizant of the chaos around her on the ship's deck, Whisper's attention is fully occupied by the giant crab, and Kraken fighting valiantly in its grip. He was doomed, of course. The idea filled her ears with white noise, and she felt as if she were going to stumble, her limbs suddenly going limp.
Why fight? an inner voice whispered.
You've done your part. The dragon is destroyed. The cult shattered. What's left of these people you've traveled with will weaken the monster as it slaughters them. It won't heal. You've accomplished all that must be done. You can go now. Just slip back into the longboat and row back with a story of how they died heroically saving you.
Revulsion twisted in her gut. Had she ever been that creature?
No. We can win this. We WILL win this!
She refocused to find herself striding forward towards the immense crab. Her attention focused on Kraken. He was human. His body was not like hers. It resisted change. "Kraken!" Whisper shouted. "Don't fight me!"
And she cast a spell...shaping magic into something new, discovering it as she built it in a rush of creative inspiration. A transmutation simple, but subtle in its power. Would it be enough?
Kraken feels the magic grip him and sink into his body. The imperative it communicates is elemental; primal. Grow. Though he senses he can try to fight it, he also realizes that being bigger might be handy against this gigantic crustacean!
(Casting Enlarge Person on the Krakster! +2 Strength, -2 Dex, -1 AC, and +4 to thy grapple checks. Oh, and reach. Enjoy.)
