Ok Vermicelli, this is what I could figure out:
First of all, the enchanter minor illusion, illusion: tree and the druid treeform spell all do the same thing faction wise. So when this is slowly fixed and implemented, druids will see their treeform gain the same benefits.
As best as I could tell, these spells provided a large faction increase to a great many different factions. But, it was not a catch all "set to indifferent" deal. Also, many factions are not adjusted by these spells at all.
The neat thing about this line is that it DOES allow the shape changer the chance to become non-kos to a great many NPCs, even in dungeons.
For example, I was kos to the greater icebone skeletons in lower guk but when I used minor illusion I suddenly became apprehensive. To lesser kobolds in Innothule Swamp I went from kos to indifferent. To gnoll pups in the Qeynos noob yard I went from kos to apprehensive and to Nerissa Clothspinner who happened to be walking by at the time I went from apprehensively to indifferent.
Anyways, fixing this will take a lot of time as there is no catch all set way to implement the faction adjustments for these spells. It will have to be done faction by faction.
Does all of the above jive with you classic era enchanters/druids? I don't think these spells changed from 1999 to 2002.
