This spell was created to allow snakes to serve as assassins that can easily penetrate a target’s lair. This spell temporarily 132 gives any snake or snake-like creature the incorporeal subtype, allowing it to move through walls and objects. However, the creature may not use any poison or constriction abilities when in ghost serpent form. The creature immediately becomes corporeal when it attacks, ending the spell.
