Potions of cancellation should affect treeform

As the title says - cancellation should remove the effect of a potion of lignification, for reasons of consistency. I don't think that it would make the potions of lignification particularly stronger, considering the rarity of cancellation. (Having this option would have saved the life of a promising GrEE, may he rest in peace.)

Re: Potions of cancellation should affect treeform

Potions of cancellation do affect tree form, just like they do all other forms where you can drink. This is the case in 0.16 and trunk. Forms take 10 aut to dispell after the cancellation, but you should see the Tree indicator go from light green to green after the turn you drink it.

That is good, but why so long? 10 turns in battle is an eternity and makes it somewhat useless if one has to escape. Would it not be better to change it to one turn, but make it give glow? Maybe one could balance it some other way.

10 auts is "one turn".
