It occurs to me that neither Sadie, Feuilly, nor myself have taught the camp how to break a magician's shapeshifting curse.

[Poor Nico]

It's really quite simple, though it can be difficult to actually do, as Sadie will tell you. If you find yourself cursed into a form not your own, simply focus on who and what makes you who you are. Family, names, memories, whatever works. Try to do it quickly, though, or you may wind up stuck until a stronger magician can free you. The longer you spend in an animal's shape, the more you think like them.

Possibly. Your magic is completely different from ours.

[Is it wrong that she wants to have an Egyptian come curse her and find out?]

Are there any other spells you have that someone can fight with willpower, like that shapechanging one?

[willyouwalk]

[He resists the urge to correct her. It really isn't willpower, that's much too simple, but it works]

Not really. Stronger magicians can fight against a weaker magician's spells occasionally.

[Congratulations on not being a pedant today. It's probably good because Elphaba would just get shirty again.]

So for most of us, all we can really do is try to absorb the damage.

[willyouwalk]

That's how it works for most people, yes. Absorb, cast, pray to the gods your opponent is slower.

[...She still can't shake the feeling that he's an asshole being intentionally condescending.]

Right. Well. Good advice, thank you.
