It's been brought to my attention that the spell "transform golem" had the
offensive capability of a wet sock, with a 10-round cast time and the damage
of blast lightning, all without benefitting from channeler aura or damcrit.

Transform golem's combat potential was never intended to be taken very
seriously, however, the above-listed effects are not a joke, they're an
embarrassment. So the spell's cast time has been reduced, and the damage has
been increased. A full-on rebirther might still do better with golden arrow,
but at least the spell is now actually worth casting on golem-race creatures.
