Transmute and possible error

[Tibster]

Transmute works only when a stack dies.

That is correct, and it does work in that way, but not if the stack dies from a magic attack, thats what i find weird.

I checked and u are corect, i used area spells and 1 target spells , and u dont get any mana.
I think it's a oversight or a bug.

Might not be a bug, but it is damn annoying when i kill 3 using fireball and i could be in + instead of - 20 mana during that cast.
When i write kill fiend, i mean the whole stack.

Not bug.
It would be a cheat.
example:
Transmute 3 lvl.
"i kill 3 using fireball" -10 mana and + 3*10 from transmute = +20 mana
In the game, and without that a lot of ways to get mana.

it's the same reason for which you don't get rage when you use rage (that does damage). it would be a cheat.

Actually, there is no bug here, simply another discrepancy.

Here's the short Transmutation info from the russian version:

Converts the death sigh to mana
Mana is doubled for friendly units
Killing a summoned unit grants 1 mana, friendly summoned unit - 2.
Mana is NOT given when a stack dies from a SPELL, only from a direct attack by a unit.

I wonder how many things that have failed to translate properly in this game.

Thank you all for clearing that up for me!
