Describe the solution you'd like

this spell would allow for some interesting options for multi-phase boss monsters or certain monsters only being "killable" by polymorphing.

Precisely the idea is:

spell target specifies a monster ID or IDs spell changes the targeted monster into a different monster specified elsewhere in the spell in cdda the spell only works with turning monsters into other monsters, perhaps this could be expanded to allow for furniture or terrains or traps?

Additional context

the following is just some code copy pasted from my old CDDA mod, not sure if that helps you figure out how to port it or what but here:

{ "id": "archaeo_poly", "type": "SPELL", "name": "Strip Archaeo-shell", "description": "Strip away the beast's runic shell.", "valid_targets": [ "hostile" ], "flags": [ "SPAWN_WITH_DEATH_DROPS", "VERBAL", "SOMATIC", "NO_LEGS", "NO_PROJECTILE" ], "effect": "targeted_polymorph", "effect_str": "mon_archaeodemon2", "shape": "blast", "energy_source": "HP", "targeted_monster_ids": [ "mon_archaeodemon" ], "base_casting_time": 100, "base_energy_cost": 40, "difficulty": 1, "max_level": 10, "min_damage": 300, "max_damage": 400, "damage_increment": 5, "damage_type": "pure", "min_range": 6, "max_range": 30, "range_increment": 1.5 },
