Transmutation

This personalised Construction technique, transmutation, is the art of reshaping matter by rewriting its elemental makeup. Rather than creating from nothing, you reshape what exists by understanding its composition, deconstructing it, and reconstructing it anew.

Transmutation Lapse Technique (S-1) Starting at 1st level, you have unlocked your innate technique. You can manifest the power of understanding, deconstruction, and reconstruction on an atomic level through the use of Transmutation Circles. When you create a Circle, it appears in the space you occupy, manifested through cursed energy rather than ink, chalk, or tools. This process is instantaneous and does not require physically drawing the Circle. You must be in contact with a Circle to activate it. Each Transmutation Circle manipulates one material or compound (e.g., iron, stone, water, rust, methane), and can affect substances made of at least half that material. Items in a creature’s possession cannot be transmuted. At 1st level, you may manipulate one non-biological material of your DM’s choice. You must analyze a material to learn its makeup before manipulating it. As an action, you may spend 1 minute studying Material Substances of your choice within reach and make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against DC 10 + 5 per rarity tier above common. On a success, you learn the material. On a failure, you may try again in 1 hour. You can know about as many materials as your Sorcerer level × 2 + your proficiency bonus × your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Transmutation Circles vary in size, influencing their Cursed Energy cost, casting time, range, and the amount of material they can affect. You may also manipulate multiple materials with a single Circle as you level up, increasing your versatility and power. Transmutation Circle Scaling Size Energy Cost Casting Time Max Range Max Weight Materials Affected Tiny 0 Free Action 5 ft. Charisma modifier (lbs.) 1 Small 2 Bonus Action Charisma modifier × 5 ft. Charisma modifiet × 5 lbs. half your Charisma modifier, rounded down. Medium 4 Action Charisma modifier × 10 ft. Charisma modifier × 10 lbs. half your Charisma modifier, rounded down. Large (S-2) 6 Full Turn Action Charisma modifier × 20 ft. Charisma modifier × 20 lbs. your Charisma modifier. Huge (S-2) 12 1 minute Charisma modifier × 40 ft. Charisma modifier × 40 lbs. your Charisma modifier. Gargantuan (S-2) 24 10 minutes Charisma modifier × 60 ft. Charisma modifier × 100 lbs. your Charisma modifier. Tiny Circles can only be used for free a number of times every 10 minutes equal to your Charisma modifier before they start costing 1 Cursed Energy. Convert Material. You can convert one material you control into another material you know using a Transmutation Circle of any size as an action for an amount of cursed energy equal to the circle's cost. This process changes the material at an atomic level but cannot turn non-biological into biological materials or vice versa. Objects retain their shape and purpose but not their original material properties. The form remains unchanged, but durability and weight adjust according to the new substance. You cannot change the function of an object beyond what its original form would allow (for example, a wooden chair can be converted into a metal chair but you cannot turn a pistol into a flamethrower). When converting materials, the weight of the object does not change during conversion, but you must spend 1 additional Cursed Energy for every 5 pounds of material converted. The resulting object inherits a new Damage Threshold based on its new material, which may make it more or less durable. For example, converting a 10-pound wooden shield into an iron shield requires spending 2 additional Cursed Energy (1 per 5 pounds). The shield keeps its original shape and function but gains higher durability due to iron’s greater Damage Threshold. You could convert a fragile glass bottle into a similarly shaped ice bottle, making it easier to shatter. You might also convert the steel blade of a sword into gold by knowing both materials and spending Cursed Energy proportional to the blade’s weight. You can convert parts of an object made from one material into another material you know, provided the new material shares at least half the composition with the original. This allows nuanced alterations like changing a sword’s steel blade to a gold blade while leaving the hilt unchanged. Here is the table used to determine the new material’s durability and weight: Transmuted Material Table Category Material Examples Damage Threshold Weight (per 5 ft. cube) Weak Cloth, Paper, Rope 0 150 lbs. Fragile Crystal, Glass, Ice 2 300 lbs. Basic Wood, Bone 4 500 lbs. Dense Stone, Gold 10 800 lbs. Sturdy Iron, Steel 15 2500 lbs. Heavy Lead, Uranium 20 3500 lbs. You may draw and maintain a number of Circles equal to your Sorcerer level + your proficiency bonus at once. You cannot activate a new Circle once you hit this cap until one is destroyed or dismissed. Transmuted Creation. As part of using a Transmutation Circle, you may convert raw material you control into a functional non-magical item, tool, or weapon—so long as its shape and function are within reason and reflect the properties of its material. The object must be made entirely of a material you know, and you must have a solid understanding of what you are trying to create (as determined by the DM). You cannot create objects with complex mechanical parts unless you have studied or reverse-engineered one previously. When you create an object or weapon, it automatically possesses all properties it would normally have, and when you create an object or weapon, you may choose to exclude any properties it may possess (While creating a Heavy Crossbow, you can choose to create it without the Heavy property). For example, creating a greatsword will result in a weapon that naturally has the Heavy property. The property limit only applies to modifying an object—removing or adding properties beyond what it naturally has. You do not need to analyze an object's properties to create it, only the material used in its construction. An object or weapon may have as many additional properties as your proficiency bonus (This means you can't grant objects or tools with a number of additional properties greater than your proficiency bonus). When removing a property from an object or weapon, it also counts towards this limit. For example, you can transmute a block of iron into a longsword, a pole, or a shield, provided you know how that object is shaped and how it functions. You cannot turn water into a crossbow, but you could shape it into a crude weapon if frozen. The item’s size and complexity must be appropriate for the weight and volume of the material used, and the final object gains the properties of the new material it’s made from. You must still pay the cursed energy cost to convert material by weight, as outlined above. Objects created this way function as normal versions of their type, but they cannot mimic magical or technological components unless otherwise permitted by the DM. Terrain Transmutation. You can use a Transmutation Circle to manipulate existing terrain made of a material you know (such as stone, metal, or wood) to reshape the battlefield. As an action, choose a surface within range of your Circle and spend Cursed Energy equal to the size of the Circle plus 1 per 5 cubic feet altered. You may raise, lower, spike, split, or reshape the terrain in a radius no larger than the Circle’s maximum area. The terrain remains stable unless you choose to collapse or revert it using another Transmutation Circle. If used in combat, this can create partial cover, difficult terrain, walls, ramps, pits, or similar alterations. The DM determines exact effects and interactions based on the material used. However, the damage dice cannot exceed your Charisma modifier. At 11th level, it cannot exceed 2 times your Charisma modifier. For example: You might raise a stone wall 5 feet high and 10 feet long to block enemy movement. You could spike the floor with iron to create hazardous terrain dealing 1d4 piercing damage to creatures entering it. You might collapse part of a marble platform to create a pitfall trap. You must be in contact with the Circle to shape terrain, and the surface must be stable and non-magical. The material being reshaped must already be present in the location, and the manipulation cannot violate physics (e.g., floating stone platforms). Compound Transmutation. At 5th level, you learn to blend elemental properties. When converting materials, you may draw from multiple materials you know, combining their composition. For every additional material added to a transmutation beyond the first, you must spend 2 Cursed Energy. You may combine a number of materials equal to your Charisma modifier, and you cannot combine conflicting materials (e.g., lead and feathers into one homogenous solid). Perfect Insight. At 11th level, you have refined your analysis through a surge of cursed energy. Once per round, you may spend 10 Cursed Energy to automatically succeed on an Investigation check to analyze a new material. Biological Reverse Engineering. At 17th level, your understanding of matter has extended to biological systems. You can now analyze the physical structure of non-humanoid, non-undead creatures that have been dead for less than a week, reconstructing their traits through synthetic transmutation. To perform this analysis, you must study the corpse for the following time, depending on its size: Corpse Analysis Table Size Time Required Tiny 1 minute Small 10 minutes Medium 1 hour Large 4 hours Huge 8 hours Gargantuan 16 hours Once analyzed, you may recreate one physical trait or function by engineering a synthetic approximation using known materials via a Transmutation Circle. This function or trait must be passive traits such as Darkvision, Keen Hearing, or Amphibious, which can be replicated through objects like armor, masks, or tools; or attack traits such as Claws, Tusks, or Bites, which may be transmuted into weapons allowing the weapon to deal that feature’s base damage once per turn in addition to its normal damage. These are functional simulations, not biological creations. You cannot replicate spells, magic traits, cursed techniques, or memories—only physical biological effects using synthetic means. Battle Transmutation Technique Improvement At 3rd level, you’ve refined your technique to function swiftly under pressure. Choose a number of materials up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) from among those you currently know. You may change these materials whenever you finish a long rest. When using a Transmutation Circle to manipulate any of these chosen materials, the Circle’s action cost is reduced by one step (action → bonus action → free action). If it could be used as a reaction (such as through a readied Circle), you may gain one additional reaction per round that can only be used to activate a Circle involving one of your chosen materials. This additional reaction may not be used for any other purpose. In addition, the time required to draw the Circle is halved when working with one of your selected materials. For example, drawing a Large Circle would take 3 seconds instead of 6 (still within a turn), while a Gargantuan Circle would take 5 minutes instead of 10. This benefit only applies when you are the one activating the Circle, and only for the selected materials. Cursed Transmutation Technique Improvement At 6th level, you have learned to bind cursed energy into the structure of objects during transmutation. As part of using Transmuted Creation, you may choose to create a Cursed Transmuted Tool instead of a normal non-magical item. These cursed tools are forged through precise alchemical control and reinforced by binding cursed energy into every molecular bond during the creation process. The object or weapon is crafted entirely as part of a Transmutation Circle, and the Circle’s cursed energy cost is doubled to complete the infusion. You may create Grade 4 or Grade 3 cursed tools in this way. At 11th level, you may also create Grade 2 and Grade 1 cursed tools. Each special effect or added trait a cursed tool possesses beyond its standard design counts against your additional property limit. All other requirements of Transmuted Creation still apply (material known, shape understood, weight limits, etc.). In addition, you may ignore the restriction on creating objects with complex mechanical parts—you are now assumed to have innate understanding of their structure through your refined transmutation insight. Finally, you can now analyze non-biological materials as a bonus action during combat by spending 1 Cursed Energy, rather than taking a full minute. On a successful Investigation check, you can immediately convert up to 25 pounds of that material into a functional non-magical item or weapon you know how to construct. On a failure, you cannot attempt another analysis until the end of your next turn. This analysis does not provoke opportunity attacks. Alchemical Barrage Extension Technique At 10th level, your mastery of terrain transmutation reaches new heights, allowing you to weaponize your surroundings with devastating precision. As part of activating a Transmutation Circle, you may perform one of the following maneuvers. These count as terrain manipulations and follow all standard rules of Transmuted Creation and Terrain Transmutation. Shatter Disk. As an action for 6 Cursed Energy, you transmute the terrain beneath you into a spinning, disk-shaped blade and hurl it in a straight line 60 feet long and 10 feet wide. All creatures in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 5d6 slashing damage. On a success, it takes half as much. At 11th level, this damage increases to 7d6. At 17th level, it increases to 10d6. At 20th level, it increases to 14d6. Grinder Bloom. As an action for 10 Cursed Energy, you cause a circular eruption of rotating serrated stone petals to burst out from a point within 40 feet. All creatures within a 15-foot radius must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 8d6 slashing damage and are restrained by the rotating petals until the end of their next turn. On a success, they take half damage and are not restrained. At 11th level, the damage increases to 10d6. At 17th level, it increases to 12d6. At 20th level, it increases to 14d6. Wall Lance. As an action for 8 Cursed Energy, you shape a section of terrain within 30 feet into a narrow, lance-like structure that launches forward in a 5 ft × 30 ft line. All creatures in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 6d6 piercing damage and are pushed 10 feet back. On a success, they take half damage and are not pushed. At 11th level, the damage increases to 8d6. At 17th level, it increases to 11d6. At 20th level, it increases to 14d6. Tectonic Grasp. As an action for 10 Cursed Energy, you cause the ground in a 10-foot radius centered on a point within 40 feet to swell and collapse into jagged formations. All creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is restrained. On a successful save, a creature can immediately move up to half its speed to escape the radius. Creatures restrained in the zone gain three-quarters cover (except against you) and can only target the terrain. The zone’s structure has AC equal to your Cursed Energy Save DC and hit points equal to your proficiency bonus × your Charisma score. Creatures restrained by this effect may repeat the Strength save at the start of their turns, escaping on a success and reducing the structure’s HP by their Strength modifier. Tokyo School Feature:Bioalchemy Extension Technique At 14th level, in Tokyo, you've learned how to apply your transmutation skills to living systems, refining your Circles to manipulate biological matter. As an action, you may activate a Transmutation Circle targeting creatures within its range (excluding constructs and elementals). You distribute healing equal to half the Circle’s maximum weight, in pounds, among any number of targets of your choice. For example, if your Circle’s weight limit is 100 pounds, you may restore 50 hit points divided among affected creatures. This feature requires you to have physical line of effect to each creature and only works if they are composed of biological material. Additionally, you may now select an number of biological material (such as bone, flesh, wood, or light plant matter) equal to half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to transmute using your Circles. This material is treated as any other non-magical material for purposes of manipulation, creation, and terrain effects. You must still analyze this material before using it unless it is part of the Bioalchemy exception granted here. Efficient Transmutation Technique Improvement At 20th level, you've mastaered your technique, being incredibly efficient in its use. All materials you know are now under the effects of Battle Transmutation. Additionally, while you're within 30 ft. of your transmutation circles, you may activate it without needing to be in direct physical contact. Finally, you’ve mastared the use of creating and using your technique to incredible levles. You reduce the somatic component of features related to your cursed technique by 1 (minimum of 0). Canon Change Transmutation. You do not need to have a material analyzed to transmute anything using that material or its properties, you only need to recognize the material. What is considered recognizing a material is ultimately the DM’s decision, but generally even a low level of familiarity is still enough to recognize the material. Bioalchemy. You may now choose an amount of biological materials equal to your proficiency bonus.
