Most of these are area-effect versions of offensive transmuter spells. Relaxation and Mental Jolt are new additions to the class.

We chose to enhance offensive spells in this fashion because they tend to help someone who is outnumbered (or in a group-on-group scenario), but don't do anything for a gangy helper transmuter. (Unlike mass 'helpful' spells, which work best when you have a lot of allies on hand. The exception here is Mass relaxation, which is pretty harmless and just a nice convenience.) Against a single opponent, they're more expensive and less effective than their targeted siblings. Overall, they're intended to be a small boost to the class (transmuters are fairly rare for a non-empowered class), but not anything revolutionary.

Because they're not 'aimed', they don't use the trust system, and are always treated as hostile.

The new spells:
Relaxation (2)
Mass Bioluminescence (13)
Mental Jolt (13)
Mass Relaxation (14)
Mass Lethargy (18)
Mass Metabolic Slowing (31)
Mass Corporeal Softening (34)
Mass Reduce (38)
Mass Decalcify (40)
Mass Augment Toxins (43)
Mass Buoyancy (50)

I've one question however. During the semi-quest involved, one of the spells that were demonstrated to my character was one called *snip*. This spell was just a tease, or is it still in the works at this time? Or was it a spell unique to the controlled mob that was used for these demonstrations?

P.S.: If so, feel free to edit this post as needed of course.

Not all of them are meant for PC hands. Some are, and we'll often preview them as you noted with the Mass Whatever batch.
