My Pretender picked up Lycantropos Amulet

[Stretch]

They will be berserk at the start of every battle and charge the enemy. The one possible cure I can think of is that they might lose all of their items when they die, at which point you can get your priests to Call God to resurrect them. They'll lose 1 from each magic path and it will take 50 priest levels to call them back.

Alternately, if you've got a pretender with useful paths, this may be a sign that it's time to retire your pretender to the lab.

One solution that comes to mind would be filling misc slots of important mages(especially the pretender) with stuff beforehand. Even if they're useless. You can always switch the useless trash but a thing like the amulet will give you the strongest of headaches...

Yes, I figured that. Doesn't help now, though.
What about the transformation to a skinshifter. Are all magic paths lost when that happens? Can it be prevented? (MR or something)

Magic paths are retained, but stats and item slots change and he still stays berserk.

You can use him for research and rituals, though.
