 Transmutation is the ability to change your physical form of something into something else. When transmuted you temporarily gain the new form's abilities and limitations. So if you are transmuted into a eagle you can fly, but you cannot form human speech. Transmutation is the ability to change your physical form of something into something else.

-There is a danger when transmuting a yourself that you may get "​stuck"​ in the new form. For every [[tables#​time|time increment]] you are transformed over your skill rating you must make a [[Will]] skill check against a Fair(+2) difficulty, each roll required increased the difficulty by +1. Changing back will often involve a story element dedicated to helping you return to your normal form.+There is a danger when transmuting a yourself that you may get "​stuck"​ in the new form.

 Transmutation gives you the form of something else; this is not a glamour or partial change, this is true shape shifting. Inside you are still yourself so you retain all of your skills and stunts, but your new form may not be able to effectively use them. Magical dispels can return you to your original form or when your duration has elasped. Transmutation gives you the form of something else; this is not a glamour or partial change, this is true shape shifting.

-This stunt allows you to attack a living being in an effort to force a transformation upon them. This is a Mental attack and resisted with [[Will]]. When the target has been "taken out" they have been transformed into the form you specified when you attacked them. If the target is willing then transforming them follows the same rules are transforming yourself.+This stunt allows you to attack a living being in an effort to force a transformation upon them.

-For a [[Fate Point]] any of your transformations are permanent. The end result is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, even the faint aura of magic is masked. Any effort to divine the true nature of the transformed object has to overcome your Transmutation skill rating.+For a Fate Point any of your transformations are permanent.

 Performing Alchemy on a living being is a dark and evil magic. Unlike other transformation,​ alchemy is permanent and binding. Tranforming a living being into another living being utterly destroys their original self - even if they are being transformed into the same species. Performing Alchemy on a living being is a dark and evil magic.
