You'd get a (potientially?) feebleminded dragonfly commander from a transform, right? So no need to GoR, although wasn't that the point -- to show how you have nature gems to waste?

The commander will be feeble-minded: failed Transform changes the body (Foul Spawns are the common ones) and the mind (sanity is so fleeting).

The goal was indeed to waste as much resources (most notably gems, but also mage-time and so on). I believe the Dragonfly qualifies, though: Transform very rarely produces Dragonflies, so you will need to spend a lot of mage-turns and gems (8 per attempt) to get your Dragonfly, and then you still need to cure the feeble-mindedness for maximum effect. It would be *so* fun to have a Dragonfly with *high* magic paths, wouldn't it?

Can you enslave/charm/hellbind a dragonfly from a swarm casting? Or a shark from summon sharks? I'd prefer a shark (no not a shark knight) over a dragonfly.

Creatures that vanish at the end of a battle... vanish at the end of a battle. Regardless of whether they've switched sides. I read something on these boards about Ghost Rider wraith lords being the exception to this rule, but I've yet to test it myself, and am pretty strongly inclined to doubt it.

Edit: Well, that settles it. I'm adding "land sharks" to the Dom III wishlist.
