Good comments, Alex. That's how I'd intepret it - unless giving up shapeshifting made for a really good story (or making the Shapeshifting into the new, concentrated magic). I suspect I am going to be playing somewhat fast & loose with the magic.
Good Lord, Common Magic Doth Rock. It will figure prominently in my worlds, I know.
Heck, I even like Wizardry now - lots.
