Yuglflunccck.

I don't want to do math that complex on a tax form, why would I want to
do it in a game?

I prefer Sandy's version, i.e.:
TRANSFORM TO [species]
Attack, Touch, Maintained
(though some will be Exotic)
        This spell is only available to certain specialists. It acts like
Shapechange (q.v.), but instead of restricting which creature is
transformed, it dictates the species to which the target is transformed.
        For instance, a Woods Mage's Transform to Tree can transform a man, a
bear, an elf, or a horse into a tree. You still need Intensity in the
spell equal to at least half the target's SIZ.
