 By the time you enter [[Lair]] - a branch with many poisonous enemies, and many enemies with rPois - Spider Form starts to get weak. Even if you ignored all the poison, the lack of any AC or [[SH]] becomes very noticeable. Transmuters will want to upgrade to [[Ice Form]], or stick to base unarmed combat.
-With that being said, it can be useful in the early Dungeon. Transmuters can afford 1-2 levels of Poison Magic in order to get the spell running. Even at 30% + failure, this spell is reasonable to use - all you need is 1 successful cast in order to transform.
