 As a Transmuter, you cannot gain health by exploring, only by using ENDISWAL. However, due to the low mana cost (1 point) for ENDISWAL, it is easy to regain health cheaply. The basic strategy for taking down higher level monsters is to uncover a portion of the map with many walls, then to attack the higher level monster. Once you are about to die, go around using ENDISWAL on the walls revealed prior to attacking the monster. It is important not to reveal any new hidden spaces during this time as this will cause the monster you've attacked to regenerate health. Keep on attacking the monster and using ENDISWAL on existing tiles until the monster is dead. If needed, you can try to minimize the exploration of new tiles if you run out of mana for healing. In the end, it becomes a balancing act between revealing tiles and healing yourself, as the only regenerative effect you have is with mana for revealing tiles.
-[[BLUDTUPOWA]] still boosts the Transmuter's mana regeneration, so you can take it, activate once and have a pleasure of quick mana regen.

 Note that it's important to heal as much as possible before exploring. That is, if you're hurt and your mana is at 100%, you should definitely be healing yourself. Otherwise you are not regenerating any new mana by exploring and at the same time not healing yourself due to the class trait.
@@ Line 37: / Line 37: @@
 Choosing Elf or Gnome for race is a good choice as it gives you both flexibility to cast spells other than ENDISWAL and at the same time have enough mana to take down higher level monsters. Gnome is preferable, because having more potions is better than having a higher mana limit.
-It should go without saying that the best deity to choose is [[Binlor Ironshield|Binlor]], as the Transmuter's heavy use of ENDISWAL generates large amounts of piety. Note that [[Binlor Ironshield#Heroics|Heroics]], a boon which takes you to 10 level instantly will mean, that you heal 20 HP by blasting a single wall. Thus, with 15 mana points you will regenerate 300 HP.

-Since [[The Earthmother]] dislikes ENDISWAL it might seem a bad choice at first. However since her punishment is ineffective against Transmuter (who already have zero natural regeneration) it's just a matter of having 10 blood pools and two enemies to stone to earn stoneform, and then ignore her restrictions.

 === Factory ===
-The Transmuter should find it relatively easy to beat the factory through perseverence and correct use of ENDISWAL. Race choice remains the same as above, though it may be more beneficial to go with Jehora Jeheyu or Dracul than Binlor. Seek high-level [[Golem]]s to destroy, as these are the easiest enemies to take out without using up too many walls. At first you should be able to take out Golems 1-2 levels higher than you, but once you reach level 5 you can take on level 8 or even 9 golems with ease. Leave as many low-level golems and [[Meat man|meat men]] around for midfight leveling later, and only use (mana!) potions for taking out monsters far above your level.

-Finally, when you reach level 7 you can go for [[Golem#Boss info|Iron Man]]. Make sure you have plenty of walls exposed because you don't want to have to explore during combat. If your maximum mana is not high enough by this time, you will probably not have enough walls left to take out the [[Meat man#Boss info|Super Meat Man]], so do your best to increase max mana early. Once Iron Man is dead, if you still have about 3 of both potions you can safely explore the entire map, exposing all of the walls and hoping to increase mana capacity if possible. This should enable you to take out the Super Meat Man. If you don't have enough potions, try midfight leveling with the Golems and Meat Men you've left behind.

 === Crypt ===
-Generally speaking, wraiths will pose a threat here due to their mana burn and should only be taken on if close to gaining a level, focus instead on higher level vampires and zombies. You'll need to remember to heal with ENDISWAL as you encounter [[vampire]]s (due to life steal) as the Transmuter has no other way to do so.

-A very solid strategy (that requires [[BURNDAYRAZ]] and to a lesser extent BLUDTUPOWA) is to locate Binlor as soon as possible, around level 3-4 pick up [[Binlor Ironshield#Hardiness|Hardiness]] (+25% physical resist) and continue leveling until you've gained 100 piety for [[Binlor Ironshield#Heroics|Heroics]].

With enough potions (2-3) you should be able to defeat it (Binlor's retribution for other glyph usage should not matter at this point).

 === Snake Pit ===
-The Snake Pit should not be a challenge for the Transmuter; [[serpent]] poison is ineffective and healing over 50% between hits on [[Gorgon]]s should be easy. As always you'll want to avoid [[Naga]]s until you're high enough to one hit them.
