This leads into a brief Mythology Gag in Dragon Age: Origins, where an angry red-robed woman named Edwina appears briefly. However, by keeping Edwin in your party through Throne of Bhaal, his 'Where Are They Now?' Epilogue reveals that he later tried to make his name by challenging Elminster to a magic duel, who had apparently heard of his previous mishap and made sure to apply the effect permanently this time. He is eventually turned back after many trials, tribulations and being snarked at by most of the other party members. The game even gives him a second soundset for his female form (though it does nothing to his portrait).
Edwin is transformed into a woman by a Netheril practical joke in Shadows of Amn (he believed it would transform him into a lich), and is unable to turn back.
