Free Council Rote: DNA
Free Council mages use this rote to produce effects that even today’s most skilled and well-schooled geneticists would be stunned to witness. Granted, many of these changes can unravel with Disbelief if witnessed by a Sleeper, but a cautious and discrete willworker can produce some truly miraculous transformations. Mages of the Mysterium use the same rote to perform similar alterations to basic life forms.
