Alchemists were purely alchemists, and if they wanted to learn spells from other schools, it was extremely difficult - unlike it is now when spell knowledge is shared internally. As an apprentice of the "Transformation" school, one could also learn spells from other schools...
Salvatore watched Annan intently, also puzzled, "What is this?"
"It's self-transmutation."
Benjamin glanced over and responded casually, "Using 'oneself' as one of the things to be transformed, it's a highly dangerous taboo transmutation.
"And... Stop yelling, Annan can't hear you. He's been poisoned."
