Noticed that aswell. Also, when triggers on kills with damage spells, you get the mana from transmute before the spell cost is substracted from your mana, so you dont get anything out of it if your mana was full before casting.
Hmmm I experienced a lot of "0/1" coffins, traps, obstacles as well. I can't take them out without explicitly attacking them (e.g., flame flood from red dragon doesn't break them anymore).

Regarding spells and transmute, I think that was how it worked back in Armored Princess. One of the big reasons why I felt nuking spell casters were at a distinct disadvantage. I couldn't spell nuke my way to victory without costing a lot of REAL time loss (waiting for mana to regenerate).

I had to keep a 'mop' up team or waste a few rounds using mana accelerator to save "game time" while wasting "real time".

[edit]
So, I decided to re-tool my build to get the "High Magic" achievement. Looks hard at 500K dmg and after many hours I was only at 210K dmg. Wrong. I forgot the new skills including how mana regenerates and how spells are so powerful that a mop up team is easy to use. I hit the achievement in merely 6 more battles.

This is a huge plus.

Another thing I just noticed, post-patch (build 6249). My tooltip no longer tells me how many units I will resurrect with sacrifice or with the maidens call of valhalla ability. That makes it difficult to know whether I should use level 1, 2, or 3 sacrifice. Ugh.

Can anyone else confirm this? Is it the same with the actual resurrect spell and/or inquisitors?
Sorry, I don't usually use Maidens, nor have Resurrection, nor usually the time / battle for sacrifice.

But NOW I do! I tried sacrifice and it works fine regarding tooltips. Worked perfectly.

Using "initial save game" of build 6246, but playing build 6249. Vanilla install. No add-ons or mods.

Tooltip works fine for me. I was using level 1 Sacrifice
