 Quaffing a '''potion of lignification''' transforms you into [[Tree Form]] for a little while. As a tree, your [[armour]] is melded, [[EV]] is reduced to almost nothing, and you cannot move, [[blink]], or [[teleport]]. However, Tree Form grants significant HP, natural defenses, and plant resistances (rPois, immune to [[pain]] and [[torment]]). You ''can'' wield weapons, cast spells, and do other sorts of actions.

 Species with armour restrictions ([[Felid]]s, [[Octopode]]s, oddly-[[size]]d species) will enjoy the AC for a greater amount of time. [[Troll]]s have a special use for Tree Form, as its high AC and boosted, non-chopping unarmed attacks are perfect for taking out [[hydra]]s.

 *A [[potion of attraction]] will force reaching/ranged enemies, such as polearm wielding [[Gnoll (monster)|gnolls]], to come closer.
 *The inability to move also gives immunity to enemies that shove you around ([[wind drake]]s, [[swamp worm]]s, monsters with [[Force Lance]], [[Roxanne]]).
 *Tree Form will negate the attack penalties of standing in [[shallow water]].

-Lignification is great at both the beginning and end of an adventure. Early on, the high AC, rPois, and unarmed branch attacks make it very useful for defeating tough and/or poisonous monsters like [[killer bee]]s. In the extended portions of the game, immunity to [[torment]] and [[dispersal trap]]s give it a dedicated use against enemies like [[curse toe]]s. It's especially good in [[the Tomb]], avoiding [[death curse]]s and the aformentioned dispersal.

-*Keep in mind that transforming into Tree Form will suppress the innate abilities associated with your original species, leading to possibily unexpected results. Eg, if you were a [[formicid]], quaffing the potion to fight an invisible enemy will be counter-productive, since you will lose your [[Good_mutations#Antennae|Antennae]] which allowed you to see invisible.
