I dislike the "[ordinal] form" wording. When a person grows stronger/taller/bigger, it's not their "second form" or "final form" or any "form". You can say that their form changed, but it's not an inherent, set, prefixed "form". This is very much like the "powers and abilities" wording, which works in videogames and card games etc, where game characters have fixed move sets that are changeable, and in that sense there's a "first form", "second form", "final form", and "fireball power", "flying ability", "swimming ability", etc. But when a person, or a fictional character, learn how to swim, you don't say they "gained swimming ability", you say that they learned how to swim. Or if they grow tall, you don't say they're "in their tall form", they just grew taller.

Tirek doesn't have a set number of forms like in a videogame. The episode depicted him getting bigger the more magic he stole. I don't think a "first/second/third/final form" type of wording fits here.
