BG3: How to Use Mask of the Shapeshifter

Once you find the Mask of the Shapeshifter, you can move it to your inventory and equip it in the helmet slot. After this, a new Shapeshift spell will appear in your spells hotbar, which you can use as follows:

Cast Shapeshift like any spell.
Choose from dozens of preset appearance options and let the game put the finishing touches on your look. As we said, you won’t be able to customize everything to the smallest detail, but most aspects of the appearance are in your hands.
After activating the spell, a Dispel Disguise spell appears in your hotbar, which returns your appearance to normal. But if you do not use it, your character will return to its appearance after a day.
The Shapeshift spell is more of a Cantrip or Scroll, as it doesn’t consume spell slots or break concentration.
Unlike the Disguise Self spell or Scroll of Disguise Self, the mask effect has no weakness and cannot be dispelled until the end of the day or until you decide to return to your standard form.
If you are playing co-op, you can use the Shapeshift spell and give the Mask of the Shapeshifter to another player. The mask effect will not disappear even after you give the item. Therefore, you will be able to change the appearance of the entire team.
