Apparently, inanimate or lifeless is not affected. The computer will happy spend you gems and tell you the turn afterwards that it's ineffective.

Oh and a tip when playing man: Get a few crones, they usually have nature 3 and are VERY weak. Not just transform them, you usually (at least in my game) get Chims, all kinds of drakes or even Wyvern. The good thing about this is the increased protection AND the movement, i really like to have my strong mage cranes fly around at 3 provines per turn. it comes very handy indeed !
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It's even nicer to use them on Bard with items http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

One additional note on my previous post. The item will be in the lab if the new body of the commander can't use them. BUT they'll be gone if he/she dies in the process - not sure whether it is a bug or intentional.

Actually I thought this spell had a larger selection of possibilities. Seems like the transformation spell has a fixed amount of 20 or 25 different types. Looks like the best you can get is a chimera. I was hoping to see people reporting more unit types.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, Oracle isn't exactly treated as you'd expect by the rest of the code anyway - they can be poisoned and diseased, they can get limps and chest wounds .....

Prophet it and you have a fast moving searcher.

No. Paths are only found if you are skilled enough and if you are you can't fail to find a site.
