Yes, on purpose. From what we were told and what we've seen of those who were brought here before us, shifting and eventually permanent transformation is all but inevitable. It may be wise to be prepared. It's unlike learning how to wield a sword or cast a spell. It is a skill and a tool, and we aught to be proficient at it.

Of course, I'd like to see it. I'm curious.

And I'd rather train with a partner rather than alone. I'll bring my spear, perhaps we can spar as well.
