Transformation

## Summary

**Transformation** is the ability to transform parts of one body or modify their forms either through external power-ups or their own powers, gradual mutations over a period of time, or through limited or uncontrollable change in form. The Transformation can range from something miniscule to something radical.

The user can transform into a variety of things such as elements, beings, objects, other people or just different forms.

There are particular changes to ones appearance that are not totally different from one's original form but either altered some of their features or added something to their original form as well which would be different **Modes**.

There are even certain types of transformations that are more specific and unique to certain individuals that either it is inherent, part of an exclusive technique, or even singular out of any other powers.

* Example (**Transformation Jutsu** can be common in **Naruto**, while **Bijuu Forms** are rare with **Bijuus** as **Jinchuurikis**)

Though there are standard transformations for appearance wise, for those who are able to freely change the shape of their body to assume different structures, impersonate other beings, modify the entirety of their body at will and/or assume any other physical qualities that don't have very specific and/or exclusive forms, see the Shapeshifting page instead.

## Levels of Transformation

There are cases where the transformation would be different across many series and to what extent, for the examples here, we will look at living being's transformation:

* **Low**: For this level, sometimes, the transformation may have very small or unnoticeable features that they would retain most of their original physical form.
	+ Example: Changing one's eyes for Ocular Powers.
* **Mid**: For this level, the user would usually gain some extra physical features such as skin change, hair growth, claws, some muscle or other features while retaining their original and recognizable state.
	+ Example: A Human starts growing fangs, claws and scales while still human like in appearance.
* **High**: For this level, the user's transformation becomes more different and losing what they would appear like before, such as gaining more limbs, size change, even internal changes such as bone or organ structures.
	+ Example: A Human starts to become more draconic but have an anthropomorphic physiology.
* **Extreme**: For this level, the user entire original physical form is long gone, where nothing remains that originally resembles what they once looked like.
	+ Example: A Human transforming into a full-blown Dragon.

## Types

* **Mode Change**: This is where the user shapes their current form to a different one that does not necessarily drastically change one's physiology/physical appearances.
	+ Ex. **Siege Tank** from **StarCraft**
	+ Ex. **Berserk Mode**
* **Metamorphosis**: This is more of the Biological transformation to more forms of said user into a new form with new abilities, this usually means the user cannot go back to said previous form (Unless stated otherwise) for it is a state of evolution and maturity.
	+ Ex. **Pocket Monsters** from **Pokémon**
* **Sealed State**: This form is where the user is in a more controlled, weaken state as a way of managing their power output or survivability capabilities, this can help the user become stronger or release their full power without much gap between awakening or using energy to wake up.
	+ Ex. Sealed **Zanpakuto** state from **Bleach**
* **Power Forms**: This is where the user changes their appearances with their powers to achieve a higher state of strength and/or new abilities, again, this can be a miniscule change to a radical one.
	+ Ex. **Super Saiyan** from **Dragon Ball Z**
* **Physiology/Physical Change**: The user does go through a significant physical change either changing to a different species or entity, or go through a full body change that would be akin to Superhuman Physical Characteristics.
	+ Ex. **Hulk** from **Marvel Comics**
* **Material/Substance/Energy Change**: The user changes their body into a different type of energy, material or element, this could also be attributed to Elemental Intangibility.
	+ Ex. **Human Torch** from **Marvel Comics**
* **Exterior Change**: The user can change into very specific exterior transformations such as using whatever medium they have to add features to them like armor or clothing, weapons or other sort of items that grants them greater strength or new abilities.
	+ Ex. **Quincies** via **Vollstandig** or **Letzt Stil** from **Bleach**
