The issue, I think, comes from Transmutation not being as offense-based as something like Evocation. It's effects are geared heavily towards the utilitarian, which can cause them to be lost in the shuffle compared to the flashier schools. But it's also the school that gives spells like Fly, Haste, and Disintegrate. So, aside from the various flavors of Polymorph, it's got a lot going for it. I just sort of wish the Transmutor subclass could employ its 2nd level ability - to change materials into other materials - more quickly. I totally understand the flavor it was going for, but it kind of falls behind compared to other powers available to wizards of the same level in other schools.

The discussion on Glibness reminded me of the prison scene in the Order of the Stick webcomic. The bard had a potion of glibness that gave +30 to all bluff checks for an hour. His plan was to drink it so he and the rogue with max ranks in bluff could lie their way past one guard. She heard this, grabbed the potion, and downed it. They walked right in the prison and got past every guard with the rogue telling outlandish lies like; This prison break is all part of a test which you passed. Anything written in your operations manual that contradicts what I'm telling you is just another part of the test. You don't see or hear us. You don't work here anymore. You're actually a yellow footed rock wallaby. Your operations manual is a pack of treasonous lies writen by separatist muskrats. A guard shouted intruders and she just said "Nope." The guard then shouted false alarm.

One spell I've wanted for a while is just an "Animate Weapons" spell, that works like the Cleric's Spiritual Weapon. But instead of creating a weapon from energy, it telekinetically controls any weapon that doesn't have the Heavy property. A spell version of that one Flying Sword magic item, that works on different weapons. A prelude to the Animate Objects spell, where you're bringing a whole slew of objects to life and making them fight for you. I just love the image of a wizard who walks around, but they carry a sword on their belt. So everyone assumes he's just a fighter. That is, until he grips the sheath, mutters a magic word, and the sword flies out of its own accord, to attack someone. And now the wizard is using their bonus actions to harry people with this floating sword, while using his actions to cast other spells. The Castlevania Netflix series didn't give me this idea, but I loved how the show handled it with Alucard. Hell, he's also levitating, using Haste, and polymorphing himself into a wolf. So, yes, Alucard is obviously a Transmuter.

Glibness is great because it applies to Charisma ability checks, if you’re a bard/warlock it’s pretty much an automatic dispel magic or counter spell on even 9th level spells with a +4 CHA modifier which would give you a 19 on your check. I believe that’s why it’s an 8th level spell, because it grants CHA casters the ability to become auto Spell Breakers.

I actually have a concept for a transmutation wizard halfling named Mouse who used to be a literal mouse rooting around a messy wizard's tower. The wizard, seeing the mouse, turned it into a halfling and had her clean up the mess for him, and he decided to keep her around because she was useful. In order to make sure a simple dispel magic wouldn't change her back into a worthless mouse, he trained her in transmutation to lock her into her new form permanently.

In my setting at least in part transmuters have a hand in creating magic. See in my world the origin of things and the very nature of the gods themselves is ambiguous, and some people hate that, they just NEEDED to know. So they resorted to chronomancy (a subschool of transmutation in my world) and each of them either working on each other’s notes or independently throughout time worked out that with enough magic they can go ALL the way back and maybe see the gods as they make the world. To get this amount of magic you need to actually cut out a piece of the Weave and bind it to yourself. One problem with that much power, normal people can’t use that much without damaging themselves. Their bodies were incinerated and their spirits and the magic go back. And there at the dawn of time all the people who traveled back join together and become the Weave. But hey, they did see the start of things, they just can’t share it

For Glibness, I think Jim has a good point even if you're a bard with tons of bonuses to charisma checks. Its completely within your DM's authority to say "There's no roll you could make that would allow you to lie successfully about this". Kinda goes back to the whole "Don't roll if there's no chance of failure, or no chance of success" thing. So it would be good if there was a sentence in the spell that explicitly states that you can lie about ANYTHING, even without making a check.

Another really interesting use for Tenser’s Transformation, for those that think it isn’t very good, is to put it in a Glyph of Warding to buff up your Barbarian, Paladin, or Fighter. Or, if you’re a Bladesinger, you step on the Glyph (which means, no concentration required), and you just use your spell slots for Song of Defense, when needed, and have your Simulacrum cast spells for you. Requires a lot of setup and it gave me an idea for an interesting twist on the wizard villain boss fight.

Hey, this is a long post, I know, but I noticed Pruitt mentioned in the video the concept of dragons having a "third lung"with some lighter than air molecule that they use to lighten themselves enough to fly that they can also combine with another substance in order to use their breath weapon. I once watched a hypothetical documentary about IF dragons had existed in real life, how would they most likely have evolved on our planet to include all the standard traits for dragons in local myth as well as a variety of different dragon traits. For example, it explained that in prehistoric times, they would perhaps have had a similar appearance to what we might call Wyverns. Two hind legs and two large, leathery bat-like wings, with the head shape similar to other carnivorous dinosaurs of the time. They would have a bone structure similar to birds to keep them light, but they also would have had a second stomach with a gut bacteria that broke down food and produced hydrogen as a by-product. This hydrogen would help make them lighter and allow them to glide and fly farther. They would also have an affinity for platinum which would cause them to scavenge it when they could find it close to the surface of mountains. The platinum would stick to molar like teeth in the back of their mouth so that when they belched the hydrogen from their flight bladder it would cause a chemical reaction on the platinum and ignite allowing them to breathe fire. The documentary goes on to explain how that dragon then evolves into a handful of other real life mythological versions of dragons in our real life, It's a solid documentary and I suggest anyone curious on some truthy sounding ideas for dragons should check it out. The documentary is called : "The Last Dragon - A Fantasy Made Real" It's available here on KZbin by searching for it and it is WELL worth the watch for anybody who likes documentaries.

I am really enjoying this spell school series. Super keen to hear your thoughts on Conjuration, I love the idea of the school. Bringing effects, objects and creatures from other places, which raises the question. Where is the place these icy and acidic tentacles appeared from? The great wheel cosmology with the intermediate elemental realms help (between earth and water somewhere near the chaotic spheres is where the plane of acid lies, that's where I conjure my acid splash from). It is one school where I generally have the temptation to expand the wizards access to other class spells e.g. the ranger spell "conjure barrage". I love the idea of this spell either drawing on displacement of time. Conjuring the same projectile again and again in the confined space/cone, or conjuring 1000 daggers out of holsters all around the multiverse for only 6 seconds. I'll keep watch all the same, just hanging out for conjuration.

I agree on Tenser's Transformation. In my opinion I think it should turn you into some kind of ancestral warrior. Armor, weapons, skills, feats of some ancient warrior that Tenser himself used. I imagined when he created this spell he had a really powerful warrior that he cast some kind of powerful, complex ritual and from then on, if you cast Tenser's Transformation, its that warrior you turn into basically. As for polymorph self I feel like the animal you choose should influence your personality during and as a draw back to the spell for a limited time afterward. If you choose a bear you become stubborn, fearless and aggressive. If you choose a rat you become clever, deceptive and paranoid.

It's kind of the quintessential school (one could also argue Evocation) with the ability to change the property of things in the world around you. It's by far the most versatile magic and therefore also quite powerful. I love all the buffs and debuffs, polymorphing, and changing the world. You have the classics like Fly, Haste, Slow, Waterbreathing, Polymorph, and all the other spells like Bull's Strength/Bear's Endurance, etc. and Enlarge and Reduce (Enhance Ability and Enlarge/Reduce are unfortunately next to useless in 5th) and Passwall and Time Stop. One spell that I've always considered should be in Transmutation that isn't is Invisibility. I understand that the Illusion school gets all the spells related to how things are sensed/perceived and all the glamers, granting it the Invisibility spell, but transmutation is the school of changing the properties of something. I'm glad you touched on this since most people never seem to think about it.

Merlin from The Disney Sword in the Stone absolutely comes to mind as the iconic transmuter.

The one wizard that i got to level 20 in a campaign ended it by casting shape change into an ancient brass dragon to become a 20th level wizard dragon lol. It was fucking epic, unfortunately wasnt able to play with it any, but it did definitely feel the crown jewel of my wizards rise to power. Transmutation fucking rules lol
