Early retirement, for her, is...having kids with a kid, then raising the kids and serving the household...heck, maybe even tutoring her own husband how to fight...
Not entirely a forced retirement, but similar...

Early Retirement for Kwan is Death then perhaps 200-1,000 years trapped as a spirit in the Ghost sword that she carries, it doesn't have a good record for early retirement
She has to wait an pray a worthy woman of her blood line can be found who'll take up the sword and lift her service

An gave up her spirit so that she could be treated as an equal to men in her clan

She can travel where she likes, love who she wants to love and tell the men of her blood line to shove it if they get on her nerves
Or as Mrs. Irene L. Luce said after divorcing her husband in the 1920s when asked what her intentions were?

“I can’t be bothered with a husband,” her letter said.
“I intend to live a fast life, die young and be a beautiful corpse,”

• Name: Perish Moor
• Gender: Male
• Age: 22
• Race: Dairon Hakedian
• Appearance: Perish has dark purple skin and a pair of short thick pure white horns that curve around his head, framing it slightly. His hair is long and deep black and his eyes are a naturally stunning blue. He is rather short, only 5 ft 5 inches, thin and wiry. He wears an almost full set of Kuri silk armor, covering his arms, legs, and torso. His face is pleasant enough, boyish and handsome.
• Gear & Possessions: 1 incomplete set of Kuri armor, a set of 5 throwing knives, a plain but sturdy wooden staff, a lute, a pair of pipes, extra under clothing, 1 totem made of Crimsonite in the shape of three waving lines. http://masterlu.com/images/whatischi_img2.gif
• Skills & Abilities: Perish is a magical prodigy who specializes in light, sound, and spirit magic. He is a master illusionist, able to create illusions that both sound and look extremely real. He can summon ethereal illusion creatures and manipulate sound to a wide range of effects. He is also a rather skilled musician, being proficient at the lute, pipes, and also singing. Finally, he is quite good at using his staff and throwing knives, though he prefers his magic in a fight.
• Personality: Perish has somewhat of a dual personality. Normally, he is light hearted and jovial, enjoying the pleasures of life and taking great pride in making people laugh and enjoy themselves. He loves to entertain, though he never uses his magic for this purpose, at least, not obviously. He is quite mischievous and enjoys playing pranks on others, though mostly they are harmless ones. However, if challenged, he will stand his ground, attempting to avoid a fight if possible, but if it is not, he will not be merciful. He has a tendency to overdo it when fighting, since he has very little regard for the lives of those who confront him. Finally, while he is on the hunt, he will let nothing distract him from his goal, and anyone who gets in his way is bound to find themselves facing a pitiless opponent who will think little of killing them.
• History: Perish was born Tammin Moor and was raised by his mother in a small village in Dairon. He never knew his father and had no other siblings. Ever since he was a young boy he was taunted and bullied for his appearance and treated with scorn and brutality by the townsfolk. He began to study magic with his mother, who was a minor mage herself in her youth. He found that he was quite talented, and soon began to defend himself against the horrible beatings he would receive from the men of the village and the other children. One day, he accidentally burst the ears of a group of boys who had pinned him down and began beating him with rocks. The townsfolk retaliated by dragging his mother out of their home, burning it down, and then torturing and killing her while he watched. Tammin's sorrow and rage were so great that he accidentally summoned forth a demon of hatred, which killed every villager, down to the last woman and child, leaving the place a smouldering ruin, before Tammin exiled it once more to it's home plane. Since that day, when he was only 7, he took the name Perish and has traveled across the kingdoms, hunting down anyone who was rumored to be an abuser of women or children, and then slaughtering them without pity. His good nature and love of music and pleasure was cultivated over years of adventure and far better circumstances than he had been born to, but his dark vengeance remains forever a part of him.

True, wraiths are less rare than Dragons but still pretty damn rare. Why not a spirit-sand serpent or something? Though you're on the magic part.

Since everyone else is posting what their characters do in life:
Erik is a soldier. He scouts the mountains of the Crimson Keep and keeps it free of threats. Lately he's been fond of cooking and wishes to meet people.

He is as plain as plain can be. With a wyvern.

I did tell you that illusions are alright with shapeshifting. Tricking the mind. What you were going for was something physical.

And I never said that they were a no go either. I said that it was rather impractical in the long run.

No, no, it's alright. You can just say no go if its no go, and I'd take it laying down, you are the GM after all...

How is conjuration in general?

CAlling spiritual companions, demons and the such is hard but not impossible. It requires not only tearing a rift to the maelstrom but practically making a portal to another world for the entity to enter. It's hard but dismissing the entity is easier.

Conjuring ethereal items would similar to enchanting as you are trapping magic within the world. It would have a time limit BUT that time limit should suffice if you aren't expecting it to last more than a couple of hours at most. Reason why it's impractical is because of the constant risk of the Wraiths. It´s similar to training a Wyvern. Most consider the reward not worth the effort.

Making something out of literally nothing is practically impossible due to the magic that it involves. This is why Enchanting something that will last is done in groups, not by a single person.

Okay...in terms of complete physical shapeshifting, not illusion or glamour, what sort of bodily manipulations are possible and what are the limitations?

The foremost limitation of anything magical is experience and training. Physical shapeshfting is harder than glamour but it's more reliable if you are a good actor and trying to impersonate someone.

turning into different animals is the hardest of the bunch but not impossible. It takes time to shapeshift but that all depends on how experience one is in such magics. Usually turning back into the original form is quite easy compared to transforming into a dog or something else. Small creatures/creatures of similar size as you are usually the easier (Broad term) to do but the larger the creature is, the harder it is going to be. Again, compared to training. But it is continuous magic output is not needed for such magics. Once transformed, you don't need to maintain it. Just hope you don't get stuck that way.
