Deed
A task from the teacher. The band's oldest tale says the first bear still sleeps in the roots of the world, three Deeps down. Halla won't teach its shape to anyone who hasn't been down to its bed and come back.

What it does

The capstone shape: the bear that slept a hundred winters under the mountain. Needs a worn Bear-Shirt pelt, 100 Fury and 180 stamina (4 stamina Stars); from your own body or any bear shape; L rules as Great Bear. Shift 0.9 s, braced, damage -50 % meanwhile, ending in a Waking Roar (creatures and bandits within 8 tiles cowed 3 s, L 1.5 s; people who are your foes shaken 4 s). The body: the pelt's bear at integer scale 2 in the elder ramp (an elder or coat pelt keeps its own), size L. It lasts 40 s (+2 s a kill, at most 60 s): Fury no longer drains it and 0 Fury doesn't end it (form moves still spend and gain Fury); Berserk taken inside it adds nothing to that timer (R1). Health = your max x2.6 (shares kept); knockback, flinch and stagger immune; stuns, holds, roots, chills and dread on you last half as long. Walk 4.2, sprint 6.4. LMB Elder Paw: 1.8 of the paw roll, reach 2.4, arc 160 deg, 0.24/0.10/0.36 s, heavy, +10 poise, 14 stamina, +8 Fury a landed swing. RMB Brace: 60 % less from the front 150 deg. Space Trample 3.5 tiles. The form bar's first slot holds Mountain-Hug: seize one non-dragon body within 2.2 tiles, S, M or L (never Deep bosses, riders or structures), and hold it up to 3 s (a grapple hold): a crush every 0.5 s at 1.2 of the paw roll (+20 poise, a fresh HitSpec each), then a slam: 2.4 of the paw roll to it and 1.2 to every other foe within 1.6 tiles, and it lands Staggered (L 1.0 s). Mountain-Hug costs 30 Fury and 50 stamina, 12 s between hugs; one hit on you for 20 % of the shape's health breaks it. When the shape ends (time, a press, death, a realm change) you wake in your own body to Hibernation: 5 s at half pace with no sprint, no attacks or techniques for the first 2 s, then Spent as after Berserk. Cooldown 300 s from the end.
