Notice how Lion Form gives new and unique abilities, as opposed to a mere change in disguise.

By the way, the quickest way to level Wisdom is the beginning of WtNW right after Betwixt and Between. Shadows found there are numerous and weak, and the proximity to the Save Point is less than a screen away.
