The mage can transform a base or median
life form into a human being.
While the animal’s form
is changed, its mind is unaffected;
it still thinks and behaves
like an animal. The spell’s range is
sensory.
Free Council Rote: New Beginning
Perhaps more a product of intellectual
curiosity than anything else, this rote enables
a Council mage to elevate a lesser life
form to human state. While some mages of
exceptional skill in the Mind Arcanum use
this magic to develop the consciousness of
such a being, others find their own uses for
it, not all of them scrupulous. Some particularly
vicious Adamantine Arrow
willworkers use this rote to transform lesser
life forms into humans, upon whom they
hone their combat skills.
