Arctic Wolf TF, commission

The commissioner wished to remain anonymous.

No one, however, will recognize him after he finishes his transformation. It is a common contemporary presumption that when ancient texts refer to werewolves, they refer a creature that takes a vaguely anthropomorphic form usually once a month and gets to be human most of the time. That isn't what this text was intending to convey. A curse is not always a perpetual thing; it can merely be a one time deal with malignant intent. This is why you do not want to go messing with forces unknown. You might end up with a tail between your legs, no thumbs to hold that wand and a very feral attitude that keeps you from concentrating on casting.

Not that I consider this to be a bad outcome.
