Transmute

Contract

ANtm is TFT-only CAbilityTransmute (parent AAsm). ROC AbilityData.slk has no row. Instant unit-target hero ultimate (AB_SPELL, SPELL_TARGET_UNIT). It kills the target and credits gold equal to goldCost * DataA (stock 0.8).

Ubertip: cannot be used on Heroes, or creeps above level DataC. WorldEdit / Hive OE labels (goldCostFactor; lumberCostFactor; maxCreepLv; allowBounty) map DataA–D.

Field	Stock TFT	AbilityMetaData / OE	Runtime use
DataA	0.8	goldCostFactor	floor(UnitBalance.goldCost * DataA) gold
DataB	0	lumberCostFactor	lumber credit when non-zero
DataC	5	maxCreepLv	reject when UnitBalance.level > DataC
DataD	1	allowBounty	authored; normal death bounty now exists, but DataD-specific suppression remains unimplemented
BuffID	BNtm	—	presentation; kill is instant
targs	air,ground,enemy,neutral,nonhero	—	living enemy/neutral non-heroes
Cost / Cool / Rng	150 / 45 / 650	—	mana, cooldown, range

Gold income goes through G_CreditResourceIncome so Low/High Upkeep applies (same as Liquipedia). Critters with goldCost=0 yield no gold.

nonhero is not enforced by S_SpellAllowsTarget; A_VALIDATE rejects heroes explicitly (same pattern as Possession / Charm). Allies fail targs enemy/ neutral. Over-level creeps fail DataC.

Summoned / Resistant Skin counters from wiki are not in AbilityData targs and are left unresolved unless a later brief proves them.

Data Flow

AbilityData.slk (ANtm, TFT only)
  -> DataA/B/C, targs, Cost, Cool, Rng
CAbilityTransmute A_VALIDATE
  -> alive, non-hero, enemy|neutral, level <= DataC
CAbilityTransmute A_EXECUTE
  -> G_CreditResourceIncome(goldCost * DataA [, lumber])
  -> G_SetHealth(0) + die

Diagnostic Workflow

build/bin/ability_audit -data 'data/Warcraft III' -raw ANtm

ROC prints AbilityData: not found; TFT prints the row above.

Verification

make test-wc3-engine WC3_PATTERN='wc3_spell.transmute*'

Focused tests use non-stock DataA=0.5 / DataC=3 / goldCost=200 so they cannot pass on hardcoded retail constants. They cover gold credit, kill, hero / over-level / ally rejects without mana spend, and lumber when DataB is set.
