Well.. It is worth noting.. that the folks at AD&D were smart about
transmutation as well.  You could turn wood into metal, and vice-versa, and you
could turn various metals into slag and tin.

They knew better than to provide a general spell that does anything to
anything, or a set of spells that was all encompassing.

IIRC one use for them was that druids couldn't wear/wield metal.  So you could
transmute metal objects into wood.  Of course.. it's been awhile, I could be
mistaken.
