It's an explicit part of the spell. Accidently burning down a house killing baddies with a fire-based spell is a "side effect". Getting to be a Large creature by polymorphing is not.You need an extremely sharp knife to split that hair. Especially since you left out the entirety of the sentance you're quoting... "In addition, she gains the ability to take the shape of a Large animal at 8th level..."I see the ability explicitly stating that a Medium-size druid can increase their size to Large using this ability.If the Medium-size druid were to transform into a Medium-size (or smaller) animal, then yes, the animal growth spell would indeed increase their size, IMO. Becuase they didn't increase their size already. Just like the ability (as I just quoted above).Any spell that increases size doesn't stack. Nowhere does it restrict the restriction (<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) to only a very specific phrase that must be written into the text.The text for animal growth states... "Multiple magical effects that increase size do not stack." Note that it does not say anything about specific phrases. Polymorphing into a Large creature made you bigger. Simple, IMO. How can that be overlooked or tossed aside by tenuous rationalizations just to get a double bump in size?</blockquote>
