• Duration: 1 round/ level
• Casting Time: 6
• Area of Effect: Caster
• Saving Throw: None

Tenser's transformation is a sight guaranteed to astound any creature not aware of its power.  For when the wizard casts the spell, he undergoes a startling transformation.  The size and strength of the wizard increase to heroic preportions, so he becomes a formidable fighting machine.  The spell causes the caster to become a berserk fighter.

The wizard's hit points double, and all damage he sustains comes first from the magical points gained.  The armor class of the wizard is 4 better than he possessed prior casting the spell, up to a maximum armor class of -10.

All attacks are as a fighter of the same level as the wizard (i.e. the wizard uses the combat values normally reserved for fighters).  As well, each attack is made at +2, and each successful hit in combat inflicts an additional 2 points of damage.  The effect lasts for the duration or until dispelled.  NOTE: This spell does not give the caster any extra attacks.

This fighter-mage spell is most useful for warrior-based dual-class builds such as the Kensai→Mage. However, it actually debuffs the THAC0 of multi-classes. Basically, TT turns us into a martial juggernaut but disables our spellcasting for its duration.
