Transforming a treelord is what I've been doing in one of my current SP games. A useful byproduct of this is that once transformed the treelord can be summoned again, since transformation seems to break their uniqueness.

That should qualify as a bug, no matter how useful it is.

They are unique. The transformed Treelord is still the same being, just changed.

What does "transform a water queen" mean? Have it cast Transformation?

Transformation is not the best way to spend gems I guess. Unless you just want a creature that simply moves, not useful one.

He probably meant "Get her into the Hall of fame", or "Summon a Water Queen".
Both are rather tricky in late game. I would much rather have a Water Queen
than a giant mummy, and a chance to get a Water Queen.

Anyway. Why waste 50W and 15D gems for a giant mummy with some water magic?
