For example, what makes 相手になる different from 相手にする. I know that 「～になる」 is to
be/become something, and 「～をする」 is to do something, but what does each imply
when used?

question
verbs adverbs
What's the difference between the constructs [adverb] なる (naru) and [adverb] する (suru)?
Suru is active and implies somebody does something, but naru is passive and
implies something happens. For example:

> 暖かくする / atatakaku suru = make it warm  
>  暖かくなる / atatakaku naru = get warm.
