Mutations are magical side-effects that occur when an Alorian body is bombarded with magical energies of some kind, causing erratic mutations and changes to occur. These Mutations cause very mixed reactions, some of them being seen as a visual improvement, while some might cause a person to turn into an abnormal monster. Mutations are Legal to have in Regalia, however excessive mutations are seen as potentially dangerous and may be responded to as such. (OOC NOTE: Excessively mutated characters may be subjected to forfeiting kill perms within reason. If you are not sure if a certain amount of mutations is too excessive, make a ticket on the RP Community Discord to check.) Mutations are not hereditary and cannot be passed from parent to child, and in most cases, each mutation is slightly different from the next as they are applied at different times, on different hosts, and by different causes. This page explains all the different varieties of mutations, as well as how to acquire them and their rules associated with day to day RP. Mutations can be obtained through Mineral Wisdom Pack in Scholarly_Point_Buy, excessive exposure to magical essences (such as being born with a Magespark), or through some abilities. Mutations can freely manifest in a variety of different ways, but they must fit within the categories specified below.

Mutations must be indicated to be either Void or Exist in origin on a character sheet; if the character is are already nonmundane then the original dimension takes precedence. Players are free to come up with any visuals they wish for their character’s mutations and are encouraged to put them on their character sheet.

Mutations do not impart any gameplay advantage. They cannot be used for any CRP advantage, they cannot emulate or obscure affliction status, and they are always Void or Exist in origin outside of instances that specify otherwise.
