The easiest way would be to limit what kind of transformations he’s capable of- instead of shrinking, growing, blade-ing, and tendril-ing all at once, he’s got one type to fall back on. Maybe a combination, like he can make parts of himself bigger while also making them sharper. Or he only alters one aspect of his body, like skin, bone, muscle, etc. As another alternative, stricter resource limits- maybe he can’t change anything on himself without immediately consuming something the moment he wants to change. That’s what I have off the top of my head.
I might go with resource limitations, just because I like the disguise applications of his power and don't want to limit them. I could get rid of the "hammerspace" ability and force him to work with just the mass within his own body, meaning that if he wants to increase the size or density of part of his body, he has to decrease the size or density of another body part.
Also, in hindsight, forming prehensile tendrils is effectively giving him a extra limbs (I decided early on that "growing new body parts" would be beyond the limits of his power.) so I'll get rid of that too. (Theoretically he would still be able to form non-prehensible tendrils, since those are just really long and floppy ridges, but I can't see any practical applications for that.)
Would that be enough?
Sounds okay to me. Consider the power accepted- now just waiting on the rest of his application to be filled out.
