iago:
Part three is up -- I bumped it up to Wednesday since I realized Wednesdays would be a lot easier for me to do regularly.

It's definitely one of the simpler ones... since there's likely to be no Whoops, accidentally changed you into a frog! Didn't mean to do that! Sorry! moments.

That spawns an interesting question to be put to the forum, then: can you think of any grey areas where accidental transformations might occur?
What about transformations that aren't into animal forms -- twisting someone's body (perhaps robbing them of the use of their limbs), but still leaving them a thinking person?
13x13:
I always consider transformations exactly like magical healing. The process is so complex, and requires so much guidance, that to do it right takes a mind that humans haven't developed yet. It requires a level of multitasking, shear intellectual horsepower, super human will, and vast magical power it is essentially inaccessible by humanity in it's current state.
If you want to get rid of someone, and use magic why bother with transformation. It would be easier and more simple to just kill them some other way.

It'll also put the kibosh on any god-moding Mary Sue wizards who try turning their enemies into toads or something as stoopid.
