Even if he had been informed about how magic worked, not only was he never a real user of it, this world likely has its own rules and limitations that are different from his world.

Flexing the transformed paw a bit to get a little more used to the feel, he once again concentrates, imagining the paw as his hand again. This time he pays particular attention to how his energy feels during and after the transformation. At least this much he can do "easily" in the sense that he doesn't need to focus too much, but now he feels another ripple of fatigue travel up his arm, as if he had done a full set of weights with it. Not too tiring, but noticeable and could become worse if he pushes too hard and fast with it.]
