There are several ways to shapeshift in the Ars Magica [[Canon|canon]]. These include Hermetic shapeshifting spells such as the [[Shape of the Woodland Prowler]], the Bjornaer [[Heartbeast]] ability, the curse of [[Lycanthrope|Lycanthropy]], the [[Shapeshifter]] supernatural ability, and the [[Skinchanger]] virtue. These different ways lead to different results in terms of their interactions with [[Hermetic Magic|Hermetic magic]] and [[Magic Resistance]] (see "Ringing the Changes", [[HoHMC]] 22).
