Transformation questions

[Apsophos]

First time I ever try Transformation, my treelord becomes a humanoid foulspawn. Now I've got a treelord wielding a treelord staff, great, what use is there for a N8 mage on the battlefield?

Well, you could get a pretty epic storm of thorns going....

I feel like this could be used by some nations without a ton of astral pearls incoming for a lategame, or midgame gambit, round of wishing for the apocalypse. Especially doable and useful for Pangea with their expensive, non sacred mages and likely glut of nature gems.

*for surviving a a round of wishing for armageddon

Due to the lack of upkeep cost

Also works well for some death nations using twiceborn, if somewhat more expensively and complicatedly.

If you have a thistle mace equipped, what happens to it after transforming to animal (or dying)? Lost? Back to lab?

Dying - lost, animal - back to lab.

http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Transformation contains what we know about the spell. It is a fun spell imho, sadly it doesn't ahve that much utility due to the high chance of death/feeblemind.
