Yeah, turning into a dragon is trading in your humanity. You and I both know there's more to Acnologia being able to switch forms than meets the eye. And whether or not that what the dragons saw was new to them, the fact remains that Igneel and the others knew that it was dangerous and saw what it did to Acnologia, and they took measures to prevent that from happening. Acnologia is an enigma in and of himself. Take Over is a visualization of the power of the entity you stole. Transformation is just a guise; a complete smokescreen. All I'm saying is that there's a real reason why the dragons wanted their kids to not turn into Acnologia. Just because there are benefits to being a dragon does not mean that the entire process is adverse.
