| * There's an (80 + {{:misc:scales:luck.png?15&nolink}}[[Scales#fortune-and-misfortune|Luck]])% chance that you become something neat.

| * If you fail that first chance, there's an (80 + {{:misc:scales:luck.png?15&nolink}}[[Scales#fortune-and-misfortune|Luck]])% chance that you become an abomination of sorts. **If and only if the new form is NOT [[mindless]]**, the caster receives the [[afflictions#head-afflictions|Feebleminded]] affliction, losing all its paths.

| * The "neat" result can be an odd humanoid (from a certain list), a monster (from a certain list), or an [[animal]] (presumably from a certain list). Some of these are aligned towards certain magic paths, so there is a percent chance per form that you get a level in that path. This chance in-turn has a multiplier, with a base of 1, and each point of {{:misc:scales:magic.png?15&nolink}}[[Scales#magic-and-drain|Magic]] in the province adds 0.1 to the multiplier (while Drain subtracts 0.1). Every 100% on the chance is lobbed off and considered a guaranteed +1 in that path. | * The "neat" result can be an odd humanoid (from a certain list), a monster (from a certain list), or an [[animal]] (presumably from a certain list).

| More testing needs to be done on the exact mechanics of the "level loss". The spell description indicates that a certain level of skill will allow one to preserve their magical abilities; judging by the numbers in the Dominions 5 iteration, having **either {{path>S3}} or higher**, **{{path>N3}} or higher**, or **at least 4 levels in another non-holy path** will preserve the Transformed unit's magic. | More testing needs to be done on the exact mechanics of the "level loss".

| [[Pretender God|Pretender Gods]] are unable to cast Transformation, just as they are unable to cast Twiceborn and Lichcraft. The caster also cannot be [[Undead]], [[Mindless]], [[Inanimate]], or otherwise incapable of having their form changed. | [[Pretender God|Pretender Gods]] are unable to cast Transformation, just as they are unable to cast Twiceborn and Lichcraft. |
