DM: Yeah, that’s still an alignment hit!
Trixie: Ah, but the spell says I can choose any small, one hit die creature.

Trixie: So, I polymorph the kid into a filly Earth Pony. She’s small, one hit die, unarmed, and without magic to feed the phylactery, Cadenza dies. Game. Set. MATCH!
DM: But that’s… No!
Derpy Hooves: Brilliant, Trixie! Bravo!
Cheerilee: Did Trixie just win using Yu-Gi-Oh logic?
DM: Curse your evil spell cheese!
Zecora: Victory! Looks like we can break this phylactery!
Trixie: Zecora, NO! It’s still connected to her-

Zecora: Oops…
Cheerilee: Got any spells to fix stupidity?
Trixie: Yeah, one. I CAST FIST!!
