Summary0004262: Unclear how to end bat form
DescriptionYou might want to try to have a little clearer instructions on getting back to human after turning in to a bat. I did it nearly first thing and struggled for awhile before reading the tool-tip.

Maybe the batform should have a time limit?
Maybe the bat scroll shouldn't initially be craftable?

Hmmm, I'm not sure we need a change here. The tooltip is there for a reason. I'll open for discussion, thoughts?

Personally, I'm fine with the way it is regarding ending bat-form. Could do with a bit more on how to turn into a bat though (although I already filed 0004214 regarding that).

I'd suggest the spell icon change from a bat to a human when in bat form. Or a bat with a big red X or a 'Ghostbusters' circle/slash overlay.

I'd also recommend adding a warning when transforming into bat form with the last scroll in the inventory?

Still why are there tool tips if no one read them.

but that isn't the problem what the ice0009 want to be fixed, so hrm the idea to use the same scroll for vice versa sounds some kind of odd.
A timer would Force the Player to wait until it runs out. that's in my eye a no go.
the overlay with the Ghostbuster Circle sounds good and should make it comprehensible for every one, without to read the description... at least he observed the scroll counter will drop by -1 if used or he can be caught in that form because it was his last scroll.
but i abstain for some vote cuz i cant decide for rejection or support. because in my eyes the whole text of mine is trivial. ^^

@ yuugi, it could be blocked that the last scroll will be used.
but have it to be fail-safe?

Alternatively (and I'm not advocating it, just chucking it out there) you might have a couple of scrolls the Ilari automatically top you up with which are "End Transmogrification" spells - and let you do just that by using them.

Getting stuck from using the last scroll is not a big problem, death would fix it for you if you couldn't find any bat form scrolls.

Also, since gem dusts have no other purpose save for the spell scrolls they create, you should never run out. I didn't use bat scrolls initially but I currently have over a thousand because I turned most of my dusts into scrolls as there was no real reason to horde them - which I am a fan of.

I don't feel we need a change.

It was never a problem for me, I read the tooltip.
