Nearly all magic does something akin to that, Witch. It can be explained with scientific concepts, but ultimately if magic is linked to logic it doesn't really become magic as much as it does became a little understood science with a lot of mysticism. Clarkes third law and all that. Though I do agree, perhaps shapeshifting does have a lot of potential with becoming overly powerful with a creative mind and no restraints. But than again so can a lot of things, with a creative mind and no restraint.
When I say that I dislike magic that completely disregards physics, I am saying creating something out of literally nothing or say being in a vaccum and flinging fire. Sure, there is the fact that a person has created is palm basically into flamethrowers but the flame will still need the oxygen. Otherwise all magic is overpowered.
And I do agree that we may need to discuss the actual limits of Skender's shapeshifting abilities.
