"What is 'courage'? 'Courage' is knowing fear and making that fear your own! Losing your breath is fear! But when you control your fear, you can breathe regularly! Ki control is the result of courage! Ki praise is the praise of courage! Ki greatness is the greatness of a creatures' courage!"

Not only does this path teach you the ways of peace and tranquility, you also have mastered the predatorial and intensity of a wolf. Your fast strikes bring with confusion & fear to your enemies. You can stalk your prey with intense patience, waiting for the perfect moment to strike before moving in a swift and vigorous style to kill.

Your vision turns red your character moves directly towards the nearest creature to you and uses their Attack action against that creature. If there is more than one possible target, the DM chooses the target. You must make another wisdom saving throw to regain control. 

When your Spiritual Wolf form ends, you can’t move or take actions until after your next turn, as your body recovers from the transformation. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short rest before you can use it again.
