Fun with ... GIFT OF REASON and Super Combatants

[Taqwus]

Some of the void summons are fun this way.
GoR'ing a Vastness is a mixed bag, however. While you gain a formidable magical commander who has 10 strategic movement, he also is an astral-3 mage which opens up a vulnerability to Magic Duel.
A GoR'd Iron Dragon can be great fun. A GoR'd Wailing Lady with a Black Heart would make a nasty assassin, albeit it's not THAT strong -- needs armor, more hp would be nice. An area-1 save-or-die length-6 attack is spiffy however.
GoR'ing is also handy if you enslave enemy commanders, as they should get their magical paths and equipment slots back.

(Edit.) Oh, and of course, if you cast Tartarian Gate, GoR the result if it's not already a commander and esp. if you have ways to heal the not uncommon Feeblemind. A male Tartarian Titan appears to come with 7 points of magic in a 3-2-2 pattern, a nice buy for the cost.
