Argan Argan Become Troll

[Bohemond]

I have a memory of a rune spell of Argan Argar that allows humans to become trolls and trolls to become humans for the duration of the spell, but I cannot find the listing in any of the RQG listing for Argan Argar--it doesn't seem to be in the RQG book or the Red Book of Magic. Can anyone help me with this--what am I remembering?

Become Other, Red Book of Magic p16.  It might be a rune spell of the Only Old One, which is why it didn't appear in RQ:G.

Ah thank you! That is indeed what I was looking for. It seems very obviously an Argan Argar spell.

In RQ3, Become [Other Shape] was a Trickster spell (Gods of Glorantha: Cults Book, p. 71) — or rather a set of Trickster spells, one per shape. I don’t know whether this is carried over into RQ:G.

It's the spell just above Become Other in the Red Book of Magic and is mentioned in the Eurmal writeup in Cults of RuneQuest: the Lightbriners at p56
