Transformation

Transformation is a type of Magic spell that involves changing the user's body into something else. There are several different ways to transform oneself, each with their own peculiar mechanics.

Biological types of Transformtion

 * Bodymorph - Physically changes the user into something else as long as the spell is active. If the user turns into a non-viable life form, they will revert immediately
 * True Bodymorph - A permanent, more dangerous version of Bodymorph
 * Psychic Disguise - While the physical body remains the same, targets can be fooled into perceiving one's body as appearing to be different
 * Chameleon - Modifying one's own body in such a way that they can easily camouflage themselves according to one's surroundings. An upgraded version of this can even temporarily camouflage clothes.

Physics Transformations

 * Invisibility / Opacity Shift - Modifying the surface of one's own body to reflect light in such a way that they appear as a difficult to notice blur in the air. The Super tier version of this also affects clothes. At Trained tier, this can be used to appear slightly transparent instead of completely invisible.


 * Shadow Form - Enter the 2-Dimensional plane of shadows.


 * Null Figure - Turn oneself into a being of light, essentially keeping the mind alive as a non-biological being. This allows traveling as a zero mass lifeform. The shape of their apparition can be customized at Super tier.

Methods
Transformation can be achieved through a few ways.
 * Theory: A body structure can be understood entirely, allowing the user to use theoretical concepts of anatomy, biology and physiology to transform (or physics in the case of non-biological transformations such as Null Figure and Shadow Form). This allows for the highest level of customization and despite being more powerful than Approximation, it still costs much less Mental Energy.
 * Observation: By observing something, a transformation can be made more easily by thinking about the target. This restricts the user to transforming into lifeforms that already exist and are actively near them. Observing lifeforms or objects through devices will not work, since this relies on Life Signature. In addition, this does not allow for non-biological transformations. For example, it is not possible to turn invisible by observing another magic user being invisible.
 * Approximation: By thinking of the concept of something, The Universe can approximate the steps required to reach such a transformation. This is highly taxing on Mental Energy, although it requires no theory and no observation.
