The '''Transmutations''' school of magic governs spells that alter the shape and nature of objects, including your own body. The main benefit of this school is access to a wide variety of alternate forms, each of which offers unique offensive and defensive perks (and occasionally vulnerabilities), but practitioners also gain a few utility as well, particularly if they are also skilled in [[Earth Magic]].

*Transmutations was dissolved in [[0.31]]. The form-changing spells were reworked into [[talisman]]s and the other spells were merged with [[Poison Magic]] to create [[Alchemy]].
 +
*[[0.27]] replaced [[Hydra Form]] with [[Storm Form]]. Transformations as a whole were affected by the [[GDR]] change.
 +
*[[0.26]] refitted [[Song of Slaying]] ([[Charms]]) to the transmutation [[Wereblood]].
 +
*[[0.25]] removed [[Sticks to Snakes]].
 +
*In early versions of Stone Soup, there were many more transmutations, such as [[Fulsome Distillation]], [[Evaporate]], and [[Alter Self]].

Obsolete: This article refers to an aspect of the game which has been removed. It is retained for historical reference only.

For the current skill that utilizes forms, see Shapeshifting. For the current transmuting-themed school of magic, see Alchemy.

The Transmutations school of magic governs spells that alter the shape and nature of objects, largely with your own body. The main benefit of this school is access to a wide variety of alternate forms, each of which offers unique offensive and defensive perks (and occasionally vulnerabilities), but practitioners also gain a few utility and debilitative spells as well, particularly if they are also skilled in Earth Magic.
