• The player's form or stance may affect return values on relevant spells, such as a warlock's Corruption spell transforming to Doom while Metamorphosis is active.
• When dealing with base spells that have been overridden by another spell, the return will represent the icon of the overriding spell, and the icon of the base spell.
• For example, if a Rogue has learned Gloomblade then any queries for Backstab will yield Gloomblades' icon as the return, and the original icon for Backstab would be exposed through the return value.
