Sorcerers, polymorph, and spells oh my!

Thanks for the replies... and for the origin of "X,Y and Z oh my!" I hadn't really known either from where it orgininated.

In keeping in the similar vein of thought -- Polymorph any Object states that it can duplicate the effects of "Polymorph (and other spells)". This would mean, I am assuming, that if cast upon a willing target, it could turn said target into a bird or the like, just as could polymorph, but with the longer duration afforded by polymorph any object. Would this be a reasonable assumption?

No offense, but did you consider that people might exist in the little section of the world beyond US borders, and not have seen "The Wizard of Oz" ?

...or seen it in a different language...

Yep, I would agree with this assumption. Polymorph any object changes any object and depending on the nature of the transformation varies the length of time that the transformation lasts. So changing your guard dog to a dragon (+ duration factor as both are in the animal kingdom) results in a dragon with no supernatural or exceptional abilities and lasts for two days.
