Casting time: 24 hours
Range: Self
Components: S, V, M (A vial made from the diamonds in a Tarrasque that contains the following ingredients mixed together: Powder from a crushed up Ancient Red Dragon tooth, powder from a crushed up Ancient Blue Dragon horn, poison from the glands of an Ancient Green Dragon, pulp from a crushed up Ancient Black Dragon tongue, and pulp from a crushed up Ancient White Dragon eye)

You assume the form of a color of adult chromatic dragon permanently. The new form can be of a Young Red, Blue, Green, Black, or White Dragon. Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen dragon, though you retain your alignment, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the dragon. If the dragon has the same proficiency as you and the bonus listed is higher than yours, use the dragon's bonus in place of yours. You can't use the legendary actions or lair actions of the dragon, however you can use the Wing Attack of the dragon as an action, and if you do you can't take an action on your next turn. You assume the hit dice and your hit point maximum changes to half the hit point maximum of the dragon + your hit point maximum. Your current hit points stays the same. If you are reduced to 0 hit points in this form, you fall unconscious as normal and start doing death saves. You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them, provided the dragon is physically capable of doing so. You can't use any special senses you have (for example, darkvision) unless the dragon also has that sense. You retain all languages you previously knew and gain no new languages. When you transform, your equipment falls to the ground. Your equipment does not change shape to accommodate your new form.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 10th level or higher, you turn into a different dragon. At 10th level, you turn into an ancient dragon of the color you chose, and at 11th level, you turn into a copy of Tiamat. Tiamat's legendary actions are converted into normal actions. The breath weapons no longer take 2 actions and instead each have their own 5-6 turn recharge.
