How would a druid acquire their form(s)? / Shapeshifting Question
Not sure if this is the correct tag.
I'm working on a night elf druid character and would like to write how she learns her druid form(s). I'm wondering if there's anything in the lore about how a druid would go about it with their mentor. Also, how does a druid shapeshift? Is it similar to Worgen transformations/shapeshifting, where it's painful/uncomfortable? Or does it just happen like with a poof? Do they have to match the movement of the form, like getting on all fours for cat or bear?
Lots of questions here, would appreciate any help. :)
