As a shifter you mostly get better in a form by using it, not by the act of shapeshifting into the form itself.

Is the same true for druid birdforn? Or is it skill in the supplication that matters?

Put another way, if I shifted into condor form and never came out of it, would I eventually achieve the full potential? Or do I need to be shifting into it multiple times to improve at it?

It's been a few years, but I feel like it improves just like shapeshifter forms, which *can* be through sitting in it, but is also through using it (flying? Fighting thought for sure helped).

That said, there is *ZERO* reason I can think of offhand that you ever want to actually fight with this form, and I don't think the "confidence" in the form made any difference as far as mobility mattered.

Bearform? That one's actually fun to fight in. Again, because of the inability to check how skilled you are and also that *SO* many factors (moon, herbs) affect your skillset, I'm not certain how impactful it is.

You totally do want to fight as a condor against weaker air forms. You won't kill a prepared falcon, but it's surprising how much hurt one can put out while healing and pursuing. There are fights that happen above Thera.
