From the original Mod Page:
DESCRIPTION
Find an old tome containing ancient teachings of druidic lore which describes four different trials that will enable you to transform into powerful beasts that have the ability to harness the devastating forces of nature.

Upon reaching level 10 and returning the Dragonstone to Farengar, a courier will deliver a letter to the player which triggers the quest "Lost Practices".

This mod adds 4 transformation lesser powers in the Alteration school of magic to the player's arsenal. They are lesser powers which means that Alteration perks do not affect magicka cost. Alteration enchanted gear will reduce the magicka required to cast it though.

The transformations come equipped with their own special abilities. The monster skills use up stamina instead of magicka and the transformations last indefinitely.

TRANSFORMATION SPELLS
Note: Pressing the "Shout" key anytime during a transformation will revert you back to your original form. Also, the jump actions for wolf and tiger both can serve as an attack.

Aspect of Frost - This spell will grant the user access to the powers of the frost wolf.

• Aura: The frost wolf encases foes in ice hindering their movement.

• Left Click: Fiery Strike - A melee attack with razor sharp claws.

• Left Click: Regrowth - The tree spirit's health and stamina are healed for 10 seconds.
  
• Right Click: Nature's Swarm - The tree spirit focuses its magicka into a beam attack that deals magic damage. This skill spends magicka instead of stamina.
  
• Spacebar: Nature's Call - The tree spirit summons smaller tree spirits to aid in battle. Number of tree spirits summoned depend on Alteration skill. Each tree spirit summoned lasts 30 seconds. Note that the tree spirits have their essences bound to the player. Any damage dealt to them will inflict a portion of damage to the player.

• Passive: The healing guardian has fortified magical resistance.
  

TRANSFORMATION BONUSES
Each of the beast forms have bonus stats depending on the druid's level:

Frost Form

The frost form's health, stamina, damage resistance, magic resistance, frost resistance, and speed improve as the player levels up. Moreover, each point in stamina increases each stat by a given amount. This means that characters who have a decent amount of stamina will have a slightly more powerful frost form.

Fire Form

The fire form's health, stamina, damage resistance, magic resistance, fire resistance, and speed improve as the player levels up. Moreover, each point in stamina increases each stat by a given amount. This means that characters who have a decent amount of stamina will have a slightly more powerful fire form. Note that the fire form's speed bonus is inferior to the frost form's speed bonus.

Earth Form

The earth form's health, stamina, and damage resistance improve as the player levels up. Each point in health increases each stat by a given amount. This means that characters who have a decent amount of health will have a slightly more powerful earth form. Note that the earth form gets a gradual penalty to magic resistance and will keep going down as you level up. On the plus side, the earth form has the most superior bonus on health and damage resistance among all aspects.

Nature Form

The nature form's health, stamina, damage resistancem, and magic resistance improve as the player levels up. Each point in magicka increases each stat by a given amount. This means that characters who have a decent amount of magicka will have a slightly more powerful nature form. While the nature aspect only has average stats, it boasts the most magic resistance among the four aspects.

COMPLETING THE TRIALS
Generally speaking the aspects are easy to defeat. It all depends on knowing what you're dealing with and what gear you're supposed to be equipped with.

Trial of Ice
The spirit of the wolf is the weakest of the four aspects. It is obviously resistant to any type of frost power but equally vulnerable to fire. Pushing the wolf towards the water should also prove foolish as it can walk on water. In terms of gearing up you should be stocked with frost resistance potions and have some frost resistance enchanted gear.

Trial of Fire
The spirit of the tiger is highly resistant to fire but equally vulnerable to frost. The tiger also is able to dish out an immense amount of damage very quickly while you're close to it so be sure to stay away and deal with it from afar. Be sure to bring fire resistance potions and enchanted gear.

Trial of Earth
The spirit of the bear is greatly resistant to physical damage but luckily enough it has a weakness with magic. The bear has fortified physical attacks which means you should be always on the move and not let it get to you as much as possible. Gear with a high enough armor rating is vital to this trial.

Trial of Nature
The spirit of nature is invulnerable to magic damage. It has no weakness plus it comes with three lesser tree spirits to aid her in battle. It is much more easier to have allies to fight with you as the battle could get out of hand pretty quickly. Gear up with magic resistance and a good armor rating is also necessary for this trial.


QUESTIONS:

Q: Can you even upload this?
A:  "If anybody wants to fix the bugs or provide patches for existing mods feel free to do so. I've included all the source codes in the archive anyway." Educated Guess says yes, but if Bluarchon asks me to take it down, I certainly will.
