Good question! I assumed he would keep his magic levels, but he didn't. I can still make him do his shapeshifting thing, but none of his three forms have any magic.

When I first gained control of him, he was in his full animal form for whatever reason, with stealth and mountain travel. Which means either Enslave Mind permanently strips units of their magic, or the prophet's random path was something other than Water or Blood, meaning the -2 path penalty for the animal form put them all at zero, and Gift of Reason took that to be his base magical aptitude rather than his modified paths. Pretty disappointing, really.

Also disappointing: he was given a new random name upon becoming a commander, and since he's already a prophet, I couldn't rename him. I had wanted to call him Brighter than the Sun out of spite. Oh well!

In unrelated news, Zwago the Zmey's Krazy Kokytos Adventure isn't going too well. He was attacked by five Winter Wolves, which would have been trivial to deal with except their stacked chill aura combined with Grip of Winter maxed his fatigue inside of two rounds. Then they very slowly gnawed off one of his heads before getting bored and wandering off after fifty rounds or however long it has to be for that to happen. I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
