System: The normal version of the Talisman uses a Life/Mind/Spirit effect to transform the wearer into a normal wolf, and gives him the mental faculties and instincts to use that form without penalty. The effect is only level 3 (it is a very specific transformation, and grants no unusual powers, technically, it should be Life 5: Perfect Metamorphosis). An Arete roll must be made when the item is used in front of witnesses, otherwise, the change is automatic. The wolf form has +1 STR, +1 DEX, and +3 STA, bites for STR +1 normal damage, runs at twice normal speed, and has obvious difficulties when it comes to using social stats, communicating, or using tools or foci. Most versions also incorporate Matter, causing any clothes or possessions to be subsumed in the transformation. The Diabolistic, version of the Wolf-Strap is a more potent (Level 5, 10 Freebie points) and uses a Life/Prime/Spirit effect to turn the wearer into the monstrous Boxenwulf.
