So a multi-attack (like Sea Dogs or Cerberus vs. 3 troops) can pay you 9 mana just for MAKING the attack, if you have the skill maxed.
Then your NEXT troop (Phantom of one of those two?) comes along hits a trio nearby, and there's another 9 mana... and if one of the stacks dies, NOW the Transmute kicks in.
