	In the original NES version, if a character under the effect of Transform attempts to cast a spell from the person they have transformed into, and [[Zoma]] casts [[Disruptive Wave]] before they get to act, that spell will still be cast even if it happens after Disruptive Wave in the turn order and even if the Transform caster does not themselves know the spell. In all subsequent remakes, if Disruptive Wave hits before a Transform caster gets to act, they will lose their action that turn.
