Mages cannot turn humans into any other supernatural group, although they might turn them into a creature that superficially resembles a supernatural group. For instance, a mage could turn a human into a large, furry, half-wolf creature with enough time and use of the Life sphere, but the creature would not be Garou, have access to Gifts, etc.. EXCEPTIONS: Triggering Awakening through Archmage (6+) Spirit or Creation & Use of a Principae (a magical tome designed to Awaken those with potential): A mage can potentially teach a normal human Hedge Magic, or bless them as per the “Enchant Life” Prime 5 effect/Blessing background. A mage with enough of the Spirit sphere can theoretically create Possessed character types such as Formori and Gorgons, possibly Drones, but not Kami; though this comes with its own potential pitfalls and moral quandaries. For the purposes of our game, mages cannot turn a member of a supernatural group back into a normal human for a longer time period than a single scene Assume that any attempt to do so for a longer period immediately garners enough Paradox to destroy the effect and either knock out or kill the mage. Again, “counterfeits” may be possible – a mage with Life 5 and Spirit 4 could create a living body and bind a Wraith into it, making a creature that appears to be human, but is in fact not. A mage with appropriate spheres could suppress a shapeshifter’s abilities, Rage, Gnosis, and Gifts, but the fundamental nature of the creature would remain. On Gilgul: An exception to the above is when a mage enacts Gilgul upon another mage. Also, the aforementioned Possessed character types may be an exception as well, though exorcising the spirit in those cases invariably leads to the death of the host (barring Archmage spheres, the intercession of a Celestine, or something equally impressive). Finally, a mage cannot directly turn one supernatural type into another. The very few possible exceptions to this are those where the victim becomes a spirit of one type or another (you kill another mage and he becomes a wraith, you pull out someone’s soul or sever their silver cord and they become a spirit, etc.). In these cases, however, the transformation is closer to a side effect rather than a direct result of transformative magic. Though there are no published rules or Paths that would seem to be able to accomplish these feats, these guidelines limit Hedge Magic/Numina as well as Sphere magic. |
