Transmute and Glory are indeed fine talents.

Transmute is much easier to obtain for a Warrior or Paladin than Concentration, but doesn't return mana as consistently.
On my mage I simply don't have the Might runes to spare for Transmute, and in my brief test, it returned zero mana when I killed a stack with fireball.

Glory is great if you need that extra leadership early on and can spare the mind runes.

All-in-all I think KB:AP ironed out some of the kinks from KB:TL, like rage input based on max rage and other things I can't think of right now because I haven't slept much lately!! :0 It's a fun sequel, and often reminds me of the original King's Bounty PC DOS game from my youth!
