Hi Andrew, just finished AA3. I have a question related to the Shapeshifter Attunement. Don't know if you can answer it or it's spoiler. I read that the user can shapeshift part of the body or do a complete shapeshift, but how does it work? Like a summoner the user have to do a contract or he can just copy a monster? And a strong attuned, like an emerald, could partially shapshift into a god beast?
Andrew Rowe
Shapeshifter is a contract-based attunement, similar to a Summoner. Thus, to partially shapeshift into something resembling a god beast, a Shapeshifter would need a contract with said God Beast. This wouldn't actually make someone as powerful as a god beast - it would simply provide similar physical properties. The Shapeshifter could gain specific powers from the God Beast, but that would also be based on the terms of the contract, similar to how it works for Summoners.

In the books, it is frequently stated that the spire in the unclaimed lands IS NOT the spire in the spider spire, and the spider spire's location is not known to anyone (except maybe to the whispers). It is my personal belief that Wydd pulled a trick similar to what Professor Orden did in the first book, and that the spider spire doesn't technically exist on any map, but it is stored outside/inside of physical space?
