I can attest to witnessing people's love for transformations and even feeling it myself. Having some kind of globally accessible transformation skill, even if it means sacrificing something efficient for style points (which people already do frequently) would be a godsend in my book.

It can be made simple, similarly to the proposition in the opening, or it can be made more in-depth and more customizable. I've played other BYOND games where a "custom buff" skill is something that can be learned (or given by an admin), where you can essentially turn it into a custom transformation and have some form of control over the pros and cons of it-- by receiving a set of stat points to distribute, so while you obviously don't get the ability to make it strong in every single aspect, you can still determine the priorities of its enhancements and drawbacks.

Though, those were games that didn't have SL2's combat system, but just offering some food for thought. I'm all for more transformation skills that don't require you to use a specific class or weapon, even if it means giving up something in order to get it.

You could even potentially make it a Legend Extension tree if you wanted to go really in-depth with it. Again though, just offering ideas in case there's the interest to go that far (although i don't think it's absolutely necessary to handle it like that or anything.)
