DESCRIPTION

This spell functions as theriocephic blessing, except as noted. If the spell succeeds, the subject must also make a Will save. If this second save fails, the creature’s Intelligence becomes 2. It still retains its class, Hit Dice, and level and any benefits deriving from its Hit Dice and level remain unchanged. The creature may still cast spells, though it must do so using its newly modified Intelligence score.

Any polymorph effects on the target are automatically dispelled when a target fails to resist the effects of baleful theriocephaly, and as long as baleful theriocephaly remains in effect, the target cannot use other polymorph spells or effects to assume a new form. A creature with the shapechanger subtype can revert to its natural form as a standard action.
