Discentem Corvidae
Abilities:
- Shapeshifting (Default is natural and human, but anything between the two is possible. Note that the Corvidae can NOT add extra limbs; they can have either wings or arms, but not both.)
- Flight (in natural form)
- Hyper awareness of magic - They will know when magic is being used around them, be it an active spell, or something so simple as a passive glamour. True shapeshifting will be harder to detect, unless it is a fellow Corvidae. They always know their kin.
- Communication with feral birds; this is more akin to reading and communicating their emotions than actual communication
- Excellent sense of direction
Weaknesses:
- Their memories can be so vivid that they engage various senses. They have the potential to become more akin to hallucinations than simple memories.
- When unable to fly for extended amounts of time, they can become deeply depressed and reclusive.
- Their hyper awareness can be a massive distraction, and can lead to paranoia. It can also lead to simply annoying whomever they caught.
- Their vocal chords have a tendency to become damaged when overused
- Low bone density makes them more fragile than most humans
- May have a compulsion to migrate from time to time
- Despite their memorization, and magical backgrounds, Corvidae are unable to perform any magic. They can (and often do) make use of items that have been enchanted by others.
