Heartbeast

The Heartbeast is the name of the form all Bjornaer magi can take, each magus taking his own heartbeast. It is also the name of the Supernatural Ability these magi possess. Most heartbeasts are those of noble animals, but some magi are rumored to have mythical, magical heartbeasts, or - even more rarely - plants.
