The mage can turn an object into a
different type of object. He could, for example,
turn an aluminum baseball bat into
an aluminum sword. Its form is altered, but
its material substance remains unchanged.
A simple or complex object can be transformed into a different simple or complex object. Its Durability, Structure and Size are not changed, however. If the caster combines this effect with Transmute Earth p. 200, he can change a subject’s material composition with the same casting. (See Combined Spells p. 128.)
