Transformation spell results

I just checked. If the creature cannot used the item, it's returned to the lab in Dom 2. So, you could indeed recruit bards or druids, give them items and turn them into animals.

At 8 gems a piece, it's not a bad deal. But I don't know effective it'll be in a competitive MP game.

Good to know, but except for un-removable objects, even if it didn't do that, you could just remove them before the transformation, no?

PvK,

Some creatures need items to be able to cast transformation since it is a 3-nature spell. That's quite a bit of nature magic for anyone but a pretender.

So if you have items that increase nature by a total of 2...then a nature-1 unit, like the Bard mentioned earlier can cast it...and even if the bard can't use the item...you can give it to the next bard.

Aha! I see - that makes sense. Thanks.

I just checked it out - even cursed items go back to your laboratory when casting transformation. At least the armor of thorns did.
