Applications

Variations

Associations

Limitations

Immutability/Transmutation Immunity prevents transformation.
May require use to know the "science" behind the target they are changing.
Transmutation that associated with another ability like Reality Warping can be highly dangerous as it gives them more range to affect objects, including themselves.
Transmutation Reversal, Restoration, Flawless Restoration or Absolute Restoration can undo the transmutation.
May be able to change only certain target types.
