Range touch
Target willing half-orc touched
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
You transform the target half-orc into a full-blooded orc. The target loses all of its half-orc racial traits and gains the orc racial traits.
With share spells and half-blood extraction, transforming your animal companion or familiar into an orc has never been easier. Really, there needs to be wording limiting it to creatures that actually possess half-orc racial traits, because Racial Heritage can create similar peculiarities.

Half-Blood Extraction doesn't work with Share spells, no errata required.
Half-Blood Extraction doesn't have a target of "you".

Share Spells wrote:The druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on herself. A druid may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion's type (animal). Spells cast in this way must come from a class that grants an animal companion. This ability does not allow the animal to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.
You forgot the next sentence.

Imbicatus, that's a common misconception about share spells, but it definitely doesn't work like that. Share spells states two individual things it allows, and neither is dependent on the other.
The druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on herself.
This is one thing a druid can do. They can cast spells with a target of "you," such as true strike, on their animal companions. Whether or not the spell is restricted in the type of its target is irrelevant to this ability granted by share spells.

@Avoron/claudekennikol: I think it's very dubious to take two sentences in a paragraph following each other, and decide they have nothing to do with each other. The whole point of paragraphs is to put sentences together that treat a common topic. So that you don't need to repeat the same provisions every sentence.

They are correct. Those are two seperate statements.
Spells with a target of "you" do not call out creature types. As an example mirror image could be cast on a familiar since their share spell ability is just like the druid's. Spell that call out creature types such as "reduce person" are not "You" targeted spells.
They are two separate sentences because it is two ways spells target someone or something that are very restrictive. Share Spells is removing those specific restrictions.

It's not that they have nothing to do with each other - they both deal with the same topic, how casting spells on your familiar is special and different. They just deal with two different ways that casting spells on your familiar is special and different.
