Hey!
I have this player who is interested in building a shifter style character that would want to spend most of their time in some animal form. With Transform Beast they can shapeshift into a 4d6 wolf for the not-so-low cost of 8MP. However, there are some questions that they have, and I am not sure of.
I realize that some of these may come down to flavor, but I wanted to check if there was some solid rules around this before I go making things up and breaking some balance. Thanks in advance!

- If they pay for a duration of, say 4 hours, could they shift back and forth during that duration? This would, of course require some actions, possibly even a long enough to make "Underworld" style transformations impossible. Is there some extra MP to pay for this effect, is it mitigated by having a longer transformation time?
- Now that they have 6d6 MDP, when they shift into a wolf, which MDP do they use, the wolf's 4 or their 6?
- Could they, in theory, use magic while shifted?
