This item takes the form of a golden medallion adorned with strange glyphs all over it. When worn or carried by a creature, the medallion awakens the creature's most primal state... for a time. The medallion holds two charges and regains a charge at dawn.
Surge: Using an action you cause a surge of power within your canine companion to flow onwards unrestricted. For 8 hours it assumes the form of a Negative Hound, their stats and size change to acommodate that form.
Forced Surge: Causing a surge to occur while no charges are present in the medallion will result in a severely weakened form of the Negative Hound: the hound's total time will decrease to 1 hour, it's maximum speed will be halved and it suffers a -2 to all attack and damage rolls.
