transmutated
Converted into another
Transmutated is a back-formation from transmutation, used as a past tense where transmuted would be standard.
Both mean changed from one form or substance into another, especially in a fundamental way: The alchemist believed he had transmutated lead into gold.
Transmuted is more established; transmutated appears in casual or technical contexts where speakers reach for the longer form.
