Rookie Questions re Glamour and Patches

[Endoperez]

Recommending that one's pretender casts Transformation is almost as bad as recommending that you send him into the arena in the first place...

Any way, don't sweat about that too much. You're still starting out, and even if you lose your pretender you can use priests to call him back. He will lose one pick from all his magic, but that won't affect any blessings or scales, and he won't have the trident afterwards

Thanks guys

I think the consensus is:

1) It was a bonehead move in the first place, I got that. Live and learn.

2) Transfiguration into a blob of glue or something else without hands hands may get rid of it, but it may damage the pretender ... how bad one wonders? The consensus is that this is also a bad idea.

3) Let him die. Either in the arena or at the front taking as many of the enemy with him as possible. Death not being terribly crippling ... because you can reanimate him with only a small amount of damage.

Hmmmm! Got to love a game where killing your own god is the preferred option. LOL.

Thanks.

For a SC pretender Transformation is extremely bad. Transformation gives you a random animal which isn't better than your recruitables means he's useless. Killing him takes 1 away from every magic path he has. He might still be used as SC and the damage can be fixed by paying gems for empowerment.
For a rainbow mage it's not so bad, if you can live without boosters but then why bother getting rid of the trident anyway?
