The Path of Transmutation: Storyteller pg. 60, Magic pg. 80This path is whispered as being the poor mans alchemy. It does not require a

Lab or the Science ability, but its transformations are less dramatic. Instead of changing

Traits to activate.

Ushabti (Akhu): Sacrifice pg. 27The name of this path comes from the figurines buried with wealthy Egyptians.

These figurines can be enchanted to perform tasks, and can even be made into living,

sentient beings (that are blood bound to their creator).

The Vine of Dionysus: Storyteller pg. 61, Magic pg. 82
