: This creature gets +2/+2 and gains fear until end of turn. Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn. Activate only during your turn. (A creature with fear can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.)
Necromancers who discovered the new sources of mana were quick to dream up new nightmares with them.

Fleshformer's ability has only one target: the creature. If that creature becomes an illegal target by the time Fleshformer's ability would resolve, the entire ability doesn't resolve. Fleshformer won't get +2/+2 and won't gain fear.

Fleshformer can target itself with its ability. The result is that Fleshformer gains fear, since the +2/+2 and -2/-2 parts of the effect will balance each other out. (Fleshformer's power and toughness will each momentarily go up by 2, in case anything cares about that.)
