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.)
Yeah, for the most part here I think that a transformation skill limited to a class or weapon really limits 'who' can transform at the current moment, some sort of ability that transforms you or gives you a buff that really shows a state that is even slightly 'beyond normal' is very much a cool RP feature, and I'd sacrifice some efficiency for something like that. (Think Strange Sight from Humans is a good example)

Example: Using Outfit 4 on Demon Translation when your default is Outfit 2 Currently.
Over all, I might think it can run too much? But we'll see how it while I also suggest it making them treated as a boss enemy.
Oh, and another one is adding a Option for a Quote for it when it's been activated like the Shadow Guardian / Winged Guardian.
Not much, but I'll try my best on it for the Global Demon Translation. Looking forward on it.
IF This is possible I am all for it, but I won't push the boundaries of what's necessary either, as for the quote, I believe that the Skill Quotes menu does good work of that.

SIGN. ME. THE. FLOCK. UP!
I personally wish we could have a custom transformation where we set up the drawbacks and power ups, many games of RPing genre have some form of custom transformation or power up. The problem with SL2 is that those are always stuck to certain classes or items. I believe it'd be a very worthwhile add-on if implemented.
Something either simple as Minor Demon Translation, or complex like "Custom Buff", where you name the transformation, select the special effect and what the buff is similar to from a list, which I can imagine for now a quick example of my version:
This is a very good example too here, some sort of "Limit Breaker" buff is not a bad idea, though I'm not sure if I would do it so far fetched, though it is very interesting to me regardless.
