	To activate the ~~Ainhithe~~, the wearer must don the cloak and fill the pouch with the desired animal’s material. The transformation process involves a deep connection with the animal spirit, often facilitated by a specific incantation or ritualistic dance. While transformed, the wearer gains not only the physical abilities of the animal but also the potential to communicate with creatures of the same species.
