I have no first hand experience, but it looks like both are possible: it can polymorph the enemy, but also yourself. See for example this comment and many other similar comments on the internet.

I agree with that. But from ALL the tests I did, it never polymorphed the enemy, only me

[al3xc1985]

it might be just me. I will keep testing maybe I get the other effect 2

[al3xc1985]

Tested on deadmines, on a large number or mobs, and the result is what i wronte in description. No polymorph on enemy , only on you

Spell 14621 - TARGET_SELF, so the target must cast the spell (or you need to somehow redefine the target through casting parameters).

With the patch, polymorph can be applied to a target or a caster.

The only strange thing is that when casting a “long” spell (of the possible effects of the spell 14537), there is no animation of casting the spell, i.e. the player simply stands for 2-3 seconds, and then the instant cast effect occurs.
