Or do they? Can anyone enlighten me? I would guess there should be one, being the 10 transformations are like 10 templates.

Because there is no mechanic that has been devised before for permitting Level Adjustments through Epic Spells. Just like there was no mechanic for an Epic Spell to apply a Template, no rules for a Template to unlock a PrC, etc. We already had made a number of "innovative" ideas in the Dragon transformation, and it was (albeit against my personal judgement on the issue) decided to not introduce a bunch more like that.

The spells are *kind-of* like Templates, but they aren't.
