Magical Abilities
All full-blooded shapeshifters have the ability to shift into another animal species. While this is considered magical by other sapient species - humans in particular - shapeshifters generally do not categorise it as such. To them, shifting is an innate part of who they are as a sapient species. Whilst some scholars point to a shapeshifter's enlarged altus as evidence that shifting is indeed magic, Whilst others disregard shifting when writing about the incidence of magic in the shapeshifter population.
If shifting is taken out of the equation, about thirty percent of shapeshifters display some form of magical ability. Shapeshifter magic tends to be elemental in nature, though this depends heavily on cultural or geographical influences, for example, is rare amongst shapeshifters who live in dry grasslands or deep forests. Other common magical abilities include curative or analgesic talents, and as well as divination.
Like any other sapient species in the human world and Mushroom Kingdom world, however, shapeshifters would be able to utilise any form of magic if they were to open their minds to it. Magic, after all is merely the manipulation of energy. The late Maka Wuhu scholar, Magnus Woolery, hypothesised that all members of all sapient species would be able to use any form of magic if they were correctly trained. He believed the incidence of magic often cited by scholars is actually the percentage of those who have inherent talent.
