Well for one, I'd say that permanently changing your form would be a slow process over a long time. Not only that but it would limit exploration into other fields of magic due to the energy needed for the upkeep of your changing body. Going along with this, food intake would have to equal that of the new growth and possibly even some sort of draught/potion to sustain the change without your body rejecting it? Perhaps drunk every day/week something like that?

Thoughts, Emuxe?

Edit: Not to mention the magics would be advanced, may even require either darker knowledge from Alithe's lands or a trip to the Institute?

I agree with everything you said, actually, and I was planning on already going that way :D

My character will use no other form of magic, aside from an occasional healing spell.

The process will take weeks or months for every augmentation, and it will cause bouts of pain during periods of bone-growth (because if you're going to change your form, you have to change your bones as well: growing an arm means growing arm bones, growing a finger means growing finger joints). The pain will be treated through light healing magic and potions, though he has no knowledge of alchemy himself: he buys the potions from local shops.

I can perhaps squeeze something in about my character having learned it from some creepy wizard or Revenant in Alithe's lands :lol , but I'd rather them not actually be a follower of any religion/faction at the start.
