Just like Odysseus's men.  This required materia and preparation are where you get mana from is a feature of greek myth.For me. Knows one ritual is not at all evidence of D&D caliber caster. A ritual to create one kind of poison and deception to deliver it, is really the extent of it. An average apothecary can kill somebody but it takes a god to transform. (not too impressive to me or actually impressive but not like waves hands and poof you are a pig or poof my friend or I am a bloody T-Rex all in one spell and that is just one of many many in my arsenal including sleep spells and webs and various others to trap everyone in a good sized area and so on and so forth.) A scene where they mention touching someone to me is just delivering more of the agent probably also done with deception (little old me I am not dangerous smears poison on both guards not a trick to do against 22 you are right), not evidence the same method was used nor that the other cases were at all something the character could do on the fly.  The guardsmen probably only needed a temporary effect though what level is that Polymorph 4th level, at least practically and would be appropriate for justice sake they were doing their jobs guarding their lord. (of course if she was showing classic divine wrath maybe just one contact poison slightly more doses need)Everyone in their audience probably knew that prepared potion/poison using gathered alchemic substances was how magic worked. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />.  It's unlikely without preparation she could do anything much at all.Do they ever describe her turning into a useful beast to fly somewhere? or carry others on her back as a gigantic beast or god forbid doing any other effect at all (besides punishes enemies with a poison)? I mean any stories of teleporting or anything to really say this is more than a single ability?The Celtic Tuathan Sorcerors are the source of closest to D&D casters I have seen.</blockquote>
