This feat says "Any transmutation spell you cast that enhances ability scores increases the ability scores by +2 more than it normally does. For example, casting bull's strength with this feat grants the subject a +6 enhancement bonus to Strength, instead of the usual +4 enhancement bonus."

Does that mean it only affects transmutation spells that give enhancement bonuses or any transmutations spell like Holy Transformation or Greater Visage of the Deity which gives stats bonus but are not enhancement.

Holy Transformation gives you additional +2 on Str and Con. As does Righteous Might. You spend a feat on giving you limited bonusses on melee hits. It should be a bit more powerful than just modifying 2nd level spells.

Make it "any Enhancement bonus to an Ability given by a spell you cast is increased by +2," and it's probably worthwhile. It makes you a better buffer, and one feat on one character can help the whole party.

By RAW, "Any transmutation spell you cast that enhances ability scores" is any transmutation spell that makes your ability scores higher, not "any transmutation spell that gives an enhancement bonus to one (or more) ability score(s)". This means that with Ability Enhancer (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/featbox.pl?feat=Ability_Enhancer) Holy Transformation gives a +6 sacred bonus to Str and Con and that Greater Visage of the Deity gives +6 Str, +4 Dex, +6 Con, +4 Int, +6 Wis, +6 Cha as unnamed bonuses.
Moreover, Ability Enhancer can even boost spells like Polymorph and Shapechange as your final form'll likely have better ability scores than you have.

Thanks for the information, I am trying to build a buffer cleric and was looking at this. Since there are a nice couple of buffs for others and greater visage would be a great self buff
