Form

Skill type. A Form is a type of skill type that temporarily transforms the user into a powerful figure with special abilities or qualities. When a form ends, any current actions are cancelled, i.e. auto attack and movement will cease and skills will stop activating and/or be removed from the skill queue.

Common forms

Dervish forms

The five elite dervish forms are notable because they can be maintained indefinitely, because they are disabled for 45 seconds after successful activation, and because they are especially effective using Teardowns. These forms change the appearance of the user. They will be removed when cutscenes start, but not recharged.

Norn blessings

Norn blessings are PvE Skills available after completing certain quests for the Norn. Each form lasts for 60 seconds, markedly improves health and armor, and transforms the user's skillbar into one appropriate for the form. Each can be manually ended by using the Totem of Man.

Norn blessings available to the player do not change the appearance of the user, but the Norn themselves use Bear Form, which does.

Wintersday snow fighting

During the Dwayna Vs Grenth mini-game, players have access to two other forms: Avatar of Dwayna and Avatar of Grenth. These forms have a fixed duration of 30 seconds and disable themselves for 60 seconds. The dervishes in the Secret Lair of the Snowmen also use these skills.

Bonus mission forms

During the bonus mission, The Flight North, the player assumes the Gwen disguise and is able to use two form skills, Hide and Feign Death.

Notes

• While in a form that replaces your skill bar, a Morale Boost will not recharge your Resurrection Signet.
• If you enter a cinematic while in a form, your form will be removed and will still need to be recharged.

Bug.The Divine Halo, along with the effects from Lunatic Court Helm and Demonic Horns, can be seen while in a form.

Trivia

• The Norn blessings were changed into Forms as part of the August 7th, 2008 update.
• The elite Shadow Form and Mist Form are the only player skills with the word "form" in their names, but they are both enchantment spells, not forms.
