Why does the Cookie Cutter Cleric Build focus on Transmutation as opposed to some other school?

What is the draw of focusing in Transmutation? I do not see any 9th level cleric spells that would make it useful.

What is the appeal of Focusing on this school as a cleric?

Because ESF Transmutation gives a +2 bonus to all the Zoo spells (Cat's, Bull's, etc.), which improves party buffing abilities. ESF Transmutation also allows for the creation of temporary portal sources, allowing parties easy travel to (or from) dungeons.

Also a War domain cleric can cast Aura of Vitality for turns/lvl with ESF Trans, which is a fairly amazing buff to be able to give your party.

Is ESF Epic Spell Focus?
