He is proud of his heritage thats why he got the phantasmal transmogrify
;to
preserve his heritage

Mutate does not give him magical defense bonus it simply allows him to
purchase
non-magical natural defense bonuses.  If said defenses were magical then
you 
could revocate them which you can't.

I believe the book specifically states non-metal armor.  I would have to
say 
scales are a form of non-metal armor.

accomplished.

Once again it is not defensive magic it is merely a magical means of
acquiring 
non-magical armor.  It's no different than using magic to create a normal
set of
leather armor.
