	As an example, Aerith the Aënchantress is fed up with her husband, so she wants to change him into a ferret.

Aerith cannot convince her husband to receive the spell willingly (at this stage of their marriage, he has learned to distrust her and her pagan ways), so it is a Hostile Animal Shapechange. This means that Aerith must have both Curse Magic at 5+ and Animal Magic at 5+ in order to avoid the full penalty.
