You need to accept the fact that our enemies in Vanadiel possess incredibly powerful magic, greater than our own in many cases. And that IF the 'change-race' magic was possible, beastmen and other NMs would stop at nothing to obtain it, it would mean an End To War, they could simply change to human/etc. clones are infiltrate our cities. It would be a massacre. If you really believe that they could not learn that magic, when they have already got magics we don't have, and if you believe that NMs and beastmen leaders fear dying from spell-side-effects, for the cause of victory, then you are really lost.
