[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7416556, member: 58172"] Brainstorming ... For Shapeshifting spell level 8, I think Fission can work. You split into two yous. The duplicate of yourself emerges as if from a full rest and endures for up to 10 minutes, only one of you needs to concentrate on the Fission spell. So two of you can fight with twice the spell power. (Only one Fission on one person at a time. But in addition to yourself, you could use a level 9 slot to cast it on an other team member as well.) At the end of the 10 minutes, you two recombine. But it is ok if one of you die. If either fission survives, you yourself survive.
