Uses for Skratti?

Well if you're doing a change form back and forth every year that's two turns of research for one unit. So if you're doing change form for 20 of these back and forth that's 20 units not researching for two turns... thus if one provides 7 research then you're losing 140 research points each year.
It's probably better to take a growth scale then to do the micro_management of changing forms and losing research.

You're right. It would be micromanagement hell for not very much gain (maybe a net loss), although Skratti's can summon wolves in the werewolf form. This particular Skratti was in the hall of fame and I had empowered him some. I only shape-changed him and didn't worry about anyone else. I would have got him some boots of youth except I was winning easily and I just wanted to see if he ever suffered any afflictions in the wolf forms.

Edit: Upon rereading your post, you only lose one turn of research per year, not two. That is still excessive micromanagement.
