Designer Genes
**** Life, * or ** Matter, ** Prime (* or ** Entropy optional)
*** Medicine or **** Science (Biogenetics)
Combining knowledge of medicine or biogenetic engineering with the sphere of Life, the mage creates a custom made virus or single-celled organism. This organism is typically capable of replicating itself, insinuating itself into the cellular structure of the host, attaching itself to the genetic structure of the host, and rewriting the targeted genetic information to restructure physical attributes.
Life and Matter create the virus or single-celled organism containing the desired genetic segment to be inserted, as well as the genetic information required to successfully attach the the new genetic information to the appropriate portion of the DNA. Prime establishes and fuels the quintessential pattern of the organism, stabilizing it in reality.
If used, Entropy provides the "termination" conditions for the organism. Suggested termination clauses might include mutation of the virus from its original form, completion of certain changes within the host, or completion of a predetermined number of generations.
