Don't expect it to change:

In 5e, you retain ALL of your class abilities when you wild shape, and are able to benefit from them as long as you can practically do so (Druid-Barbarians can Rage and use Reckless Attack while in a wild shape, for example).

This includes all functions that are a part of any spells you cast; you can attack with spiritual weapon, call lightning bolts, channel sun beams and yes, move your moon beam, all while in wild shape. You just can't *cast* a new spell.

In Larian-verse, you do NOT retain ANY of your class features when you wild shape, at all.
This player, jaded though she be, feels that this is unlikely to change, no matter how much anyone asks.
