Unique Abilities:
- Consuming Hunger: At rank D the mage can absorb other living creatures into their own body, using the consumed’s flesh for magic or to replace their own flesh upon injury. The target must either be willing, dying, or recently deceased. A rotten corpse will not work.
- Shifter: At rank B they are no longer bound by one form, and can change their appearance at will. The process takes several extremely painful minutes at rank B, but becomes virtually instantaneous at rank H. While not limited to humans in appearance, their overall mass cannot change by more than 30%. Once mastering this ability, the mage no longer appears to age unless they choose to make themselves look older. They can still die of illness and age, but their appearance no longer matches.
- Fleshless: At rank S the caster learns to uncouple their mind from their body. By touching another living creature, they can take over its body. The creature must either be willing, or sufficiently weaker than the mage to be overpowered. The mage’s former body dies once the transfer completes.

Name: Beast Within
Rank: A
Duration: 7
Description: By drawing upon the genetic code of creatures they have absorbed in the past, the Sculptor creates a chimeric beast from their flesh and sends it to attack their enemies. What emerges is obviously animal-like in nature, but also somehow [i]wrong[/]. Whether this be too many eyes or limbs, mismatched proportions, or body parts that clearly belong to different animals, each summoned beast is obviously not natural at a glance. This beast is equal to the caster in rank.
Name: Formless
Rank: H
Duration: 5
Description: The caster can at any time break their body apart into tiny fragments that take the form of small creatures such as insects, rats, or bats for up to five turns. These individual creatures each contain a fraction of the caster’s consciousness, allowing them to control the swarm’s movement and to recombine. If they receive a fatal blow, this is triggered automatically one post after their “death” allowing them to survive unscathed. Should there not be enough flesh left to form a full body, the swarm can use Fleshless to take over a new body to make up the difference.
