I think the "Integrate 3 Spirits" was a bit of a rules artefact, to tie in with the Theists 3 affinities, and as an echo to the old RQ rules (originally from Gorakiki IIRC) where you first learned the "transform head", "transform limb" and "transform body" Runespells before learning the "Shapechange" spell.

I'm quite happy for Hsunchen to change as a native ability (he says trying to avoid loaded words), although as I think they loose the ability if they stop following their Ancestral spirit (cursed Telmori being a probable exception) maybe it should be an ability granted by the "<Hsunchen> Tradition" keyword?
