Lord Rune waited as the others made their introductions and began their individual conversations. It was time to steer the talk in the direction he needed. "I am glad you are all here tonight. Perhaps you can help me with a discussion I had been having with Miss Del Noire. We were discussing the merit of transformation magic. We all all familiar with potions and elixers that can change a person for a few hours, but what I am talking about is something more permanent."<br/><br/>"Image the power. You could shed your old lives and take any new life you wanted. You would no longer be held accountable for the accident of your birth. You could transform a king into a slave, or even transform yourself into a king!"<br/><br/>"I am aware of a couple of ways such a transformation my be done. The Gem of Souls and the Shaping Magic of the Creator races are two such example. Tell me your thoughts. What would you do with such magic? Have you ever heard of other means such a thing may be accomplished?"
