Polymorphine

Extreme usage of potion to gain bear traits

### Effects

transforms the user, effect depends on creature used in creation and will of the user

A drug made by Exo during the apocalypse that allows the consumer to transform and take on the physical and magical attributes of an animal or monster.

## Ingredients

Unicorn hair, or another form of pure magical fuel is required to power the transformation.

Morph Slime, harvested from the creature of the same name, is used to briefly grant give the transformative abilities.

Parts of the creature the user wishes to gain traits from. The more representative or iconic the better. Quality is preferred over quantity. Hair or fur is generally a good bet, but horns, skulls and antlers also work. Willingness to provide the part also has an impact, which is what allows the reversing potion to be so strong.

A number of elements used to trigger the Morph Slime's true potential that is suppressed in the actual creature for safety reasons.

## Traditional Usage

The potion can be used to gain the traits of animals of monsters. Mundane examples include improved night vision by taking the eyes, better running speed by taking the legs, camouflage from fur, armor from scales, etc. Exotic abilities can also be taken, though these will often need training to use and the most powerful may need to be fueled by external mana or require heavy alteration to gain the magical creature's own mana drawing and storing capabilities. Using a dragon's fire while appearing mostly human would be very dangerous without training and likely require the use of external man sources as fuel, while transforming into something approaching a dragonborn would make using the dragon's supernatural abilities far easier due to instincts and additional synergistic abilities and traits gained from the more extreme change.

Users can return to normal with relative ease by drinking a potion that uses a part of them taken from before the transformation.

The transformation is quick and painless and generally best done while in a meditative state in-order to improve the ability to guide the changes.

## Additional Uses

### Unintended Medical Applications

#### Rapidly healing wounds

by growing a different skin over them. Ne flesh cant be removed without re-opening the wound, so will look like fantastical scar tissue.

#### Replacing lost body parts.

Just as new limbs can be added, so to can lost ones be replaced. As with the above, reverting will destroy said limb. Replacing organs is much more awkward and, due to a lack of understanding of purpose, much more dangerous.

#### Curing dysphoria

Polymorphine passively prevents the confusion/dysphoria that would be caused by changing a body to not reflect it's internal understanding of itself. No-mater how outlandish, the new parts feel natural. This can be used to convincingly override existing problematic features with new ones that the drinker will be comfortable with.

However this wont stop the user from feeling other negative feelings due to cultural or other physiological reasons. An arachnophobe wills till not like being turned into a part spider even if the limbs feel natural to use, for example. Aesthetic taste is not affected either, meaning a change might be useful but distasteful to have due to being unfashionable.

#### Contraceptive

Fusion prevents reproduction due to the mismatched dna of the transformed subject with the base human.

### Other Unintended Uses

#### Infiltration/Impersonation

A rarely discuses and often taboo or forbidden ability would be to take the hair of another person and use it to take on their exact form. Requires a great deal of skill both to perform the transformation and to act out the part of the victim, but has many application if the task can be done successfully.

#### Multi Creature Potions/Multiple Potions

Using more than one animal, or using multiple potions in a row, to gain traits of multiple beasts is possible, but becomes increasingly difficult to control and guide due to the complexity of integrating all the various parts of the beasts. Fortunately the hard reset of the reversing potion still works on these.

#### Using a changed person to get parts for another potion

The mix of beast an mortal can have unusual and homogenizing effects on the subsequent drinkers, far in excess of what using the same beast would. Useful for farming a multi-beast-part potion to fast track the fused form, but things get complicated and weird very fast with this technique.

#### Creating new mortal races

Fusion prevents reproduction in most cases, unless the same beast is used in a very slimier way, at which point the resulting child will be born with the fused from of it's parents as it's base form. They will be fertile with others spawned from the same fusion, meaning a new race can be made this way, though without a consorted effort to create a wide gene pool at conception or introduce new stock semi regularly the risks of inbreeding are likely to end the new species before to long.

## Skill Requirement

Guiding the transformation is a skill in and of itself and gaining exactly the right traits and appearance is something that needs practice to achieve, both in general and with a specific potion. Masters of the art will brew one specific potion themselves to get the mix just the way they want it and then use it to return again and again to a specific desired form.

## Inbuilt safety measures

The transformation will never shrink or destroy the brain, nor will it change the person into something incapable of surviving or something incapalb eof injesting a revers potion. As the transformation is led by the drinker, it cannot be used to force a change. An unwilling subject will be changed little if at all no-mater the potency. Of course a cunning and unscrupulous alchemist could modify what was divinely given and get their curse of forced newt transformation potion if enough effort and wisdom was put in.
