Abilities
Change Shape (concentrate, polymorph, primal) — The transmuter becomes a Medium air elemental or returns to her gnoll form. As an elemental, she has a fly Speed of 60 feet, her movement doesn't trigger reactions, and the only Strike she can make is an agile gust Strike (which deals 3d8+5 bludgeoning damage plus Knockdown). She can't cast spells in this form.
The monster changes its shape indefinitely. It can use this action again to return to its natural shape or adopt a new shape. Unless otherwise noted, a monster cannot use Change Shape to appear as a specific individual. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. The monster's transformation automatically defeats Perception DCs to determine whether the creature is a member of the ancestry or creature type into which it transformed, and it gains a +4 status bonus to its Deception DC to prevent others from seeing through its disguise. Change Shape abilities specify what shapes the monster can adopt. The monster doesn't gain any special abilities of the new shape, only its physical form. For example, in each shape, it replaces its normal Speeds and Strikes, and might potentially change its senses or size. Any changes are listed in its stat block.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA durable frontliner buys time for this caster to reposition and keep casting from behind cover.
FlankerLAND / AERIALA skirmisher exploits openings created by this caster's spells and its elemental shape's evasive movement.
SnareLANDA controller that locks down threats lets this fragile caster keep casting instead of defending itself.
PUNISHES
✖ low Will✖ ranged reliance✖ clumping
Avoid stacking multiple Weavers; redundant spellcasters create an action-economy bottleneck without enough frontline to protect them.
