[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6144777, member: 6669384"] In 1st Edition AD&D (and probably 2e as well), [I]Reincarnation[/I] had to be cast within a certain amount of time after death, but the target didn't actually have to be deat at the time of the casting. So if someone comes back as a Bager, just re-cast the spell and see what they return as this time. Also, the spell [I]Transmute Rock to Mud[/I] had an area described as 2" cube per level. It was occasionally argued that this meant either one 20x20x20 cube per caster level, or a single cube that was 20 per caster level on a side. Considering that the minimum to cast the spell was 10th level, that was either 80,000 cubic feet minimum, or 8,000,000 cubic feet minimum. Either form was pretty much [I]Slay Castle. [/I] (Hint: The larger volume would take a muddy road twenty feet wide and two feet deep and instantly convert it to a Roman style "High road" for a shade under 38 miles of length per casting.) Ironically, when asked, The Sage said that the volume was 2 1" cubes per level (same as it is for 3.*). I have no idea how you would get that from the words written in the book. [/QUOTE]
