Druid: Can you cast in animal form?

[Crexis]

I don't see any spell that does this. Will I have to cast my spells before I turn into an animal form? Any way to cast while wild shaped?

Am I wrong in thinking, once im level 3, I should take animal form spell twice so I can transform and be useful in 2 fights instead of 1? And then what do you do? Shoot arrows from afar?

You can't cast spells when Polymorphed (see page 635 for the definition of the Polymorph Trait).

You can't cast while wild shaped. However, you can cast while Wild Morphed, and you can Refocus to regain your Focus point for wild shape/morph in 10 minutes.
