Alter Self

Alter Self is a level 7 Transmutations spell which gives random mutation, much like eating a fresh mutagenic chunk. This spell also damages your health, but could not kill you directly. You cannot cast this spell if your HP was too low.

Strategy

This spell is tedious; the best way to use this spell is to go to the Temple, cast it, cast Necromutation (so you don't starve), rest, and repeat, until you get a decent mutation set.

Alternatively, you can distill a few mutation potions (gives more than 1 at a time), draw a Helix card (better chance of a good mutation), or worship Jiyva, who tends to give good mutations and a way to get rid of bad mutations.
