Having a bit of trouble figuring out how this works with regards to attack and damage.
Assume a deaf dwarven oracle of the dark tapestry with the Many Forms revelation.
Have started to love the idea of shapeshifting into a wolf and using the Ironbeard spell to give myself cold iron hackles to attack with. Visually I imagine these as secondary attacks to the bite's primary but rules-wise I can't figure this out.
Firstly, taking Still Spell will let me cast spells while polymorphed, yes? (Deaf curse gets Silent on all their spells cast already)
For anyone who needs it, Ironbeard is:
Haven't figured out stats and stuff yet but say, 18 strength at level 7.
BAB would be +5. Shapeshifting to medium wolf would make it a 20 str.
Normally I'd have bite+10 (1d6+7), because 1.5*str to damage since it's my only natural attack, yes?
So, what attacks/damage would casting Ironbeard give me then? And would it affect the already existing bite attack/damage? When I searched all I could find was information on armour spikes and two weapon fighting, would two weapon fighting be needed here to get attacks with both or make this better somehow?

Anyone able to shed some light on it for me?
Would I have to choose each round which type of attack to make?
Does the bite become a secondary attack? And hence lose some damage? Do the armour spikes gain the 1.5*str bonus if they're the only weapon attack being made?
Can I two weapon fight with bite and armour spikes to only get -2 on each attack roll?
I doubt very much that this is even remotely optimal, but if anyone can think of a way to make it acceptable I'd appreciate it.
I want my porculupine.
