That is what prompted my question: "Well then, WHAT does make you turn back?" I thought I had heard on this forum that water (or was it earth?) elementals were totally immune to slashing attacks; and it certainly appeared that the ones I met (of both types) were immune or highly resistant to mine. But I don't know if it was a weapon type limitation or not a high enough THAC0 bonus on the weap. What's a party, without a song? Bards ROCK! Party on!!

Both the Earth and Water Elemental shape shifted forms seem to be 100% immune to slashing, piercing still does damage to you. ex Drowned dead will do no damage to you. The summoned and regular elementals do take slashing damage but only minor damage so crushing damage is best. So there do seem to be perks to the shape shifted elementals.

As far as I know you can travel through the entire game with your druid in one form or another, the only thing changing you is your own will to be human again.
