What's really needed are several high level spells that allow the caster to transform into other units. It's a visible gap in the available spells, since the most you can hope for is to transform yourself into an undead.

How many myths and legends concern powerful magic users changing themselves and others into demons, monsters, dragons, etc? It's used everywhere from Conan to King Arthur to Ulysses to Harry Potter.

Actually, there *is* a transformation spell; it's called Transformation. Alt 7, N3.

Wishes I'd like to see (although I might not ever use them):

Youth - sets your age to 1/2 your maxage or so.

Health - remove disease and all afflictions.

Life anew - no more afflicitions, curses and horror marks.

That's what I like to see.

After all, you can wish for chalice which in time, will get rid of all disease and afflictions.

There is a transformation spell, but the forms you can get by using it are all fairly weak. It would be good if the forms provided by the spell were strong enough that it was worth the gems to cast (let alone the risk!)

Back during the days of dominions_2... I suggested the spell be improved and provided at an earlier research level. Unfortunately the spell didn't change much and thus remains rarely used.
