Did he think of some way to take it?

He was capped at 100 till he did his trial, I believe. But even though his level was capped, he was still accumulating exp in the background which is why I'm guessing it jumped up 37lvls. Though I'm not sure how he accumulated quite that much exp seeing as he hit the cap in this dungeon prior to the big battle (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I imagine it would be a permanent transformation but toggle off on demand similar to owl/bear transformations.

Soon to unlock the secret mount ability!

The bear turns to the wolf and says, “Your shoelace is untied.” The wolf glances down and its shadow reaches up to knot its shoelaces into bows. (there isn't a punchline; I just thought the sentence structure sounded like the classic 3 people walk into a bar jokes)
