| spell name: LINK GENE | list name: Genetic Ways | level: 13 | realm: Channeling | type: animist base | spell class: F | duration: - | range: touch | area of effect: 1 target | sourcebook: spell user's companion |
| description: Caster 'links' any one trait to any other trait. For example, hair color and eye color are loosely 'linked', meaning that a blond or red -haired individual will usually have lighter skin than someone who has brown or black hair. This spell allows caster to cause any one trait to become 100% linked to another trait. For example, linking height to IQ would mean that the taller the target was the greater his reasoning bonus, linking eye color to agility would mean that the blue-eyed (or hazel or brown) individual would be measurably more agile (higher agility bonus) than the average person of his race. This 'mutation' will follow the target through his progeny. | |||||||||

| spell name: PROGENITOR | list name: Genetic Ways | level: 17 | realm: Channeling | type: animist base | spell class: F | duration: - | range: touch | area of effect: 1 target | sourcebook: spell user's companion |
| description: Caster is able to join together chromosomes from any two targets (2 males, 2 females, or male and female) for the purpose of creating a fertilized zygote. The chromosomes needed may come from any cells of the two parents. An essential receptacle is required for the placement and the growth of the fertilized egg, e.g., the egg must be placed within a natural or artificial womb. Only one fertilization per casting of this spell. If two females are used as the donators of the genetic material, then the offspring may only be female (XX chromosomes only). | |||||||||

| spell name: CONTROL NUMBER | list name: Genetic Ways | level: 19 | realm: Channeling | type: animist base | spell class: F | duration: - | range: touch | area of effect: 1 target | sourcebook: spell user's companion |
| description: Caster may alter the number of chromosomes needed for procreation of a target. For example, humans normally require 46 chromosomes to create a viable fetus, com requires 20, etc. With this spell, a caster could alter the number of chromosomes of the target to allow it to physically and genetically combine with an animal or plant with a different number of chromosomes. This spell doesn't alter the amount of genetic material by increasing or decreasing the required number of chromosomes, just the number of chromosomes. Thus, a horse combining with a man would produce a half man/half horse combination. | |||||||||
