Transmutation

Control Difficulty: Moderate, Very difficult for chemical changes, Heroic for artificial transmutation of elements (when working with radio-isotopes, the difficulty is only very difficult so long as the products are as predicted by the Physics knowledge). Heroic to turn non-radioactive material directly into radioactive material. (Changing Strontium to Strontium 90, a radioactive form of strontium, would only be very difficult. Changing an apple into plutonium is heroic). Changing matter into antimatter, or performing other comparable quantum-level changes, increases the difficulty to Heroic +30.

Sense Difficulty: Difficult, modified by proximity. Potential +5 each if force user lacks Chemistry and/or Physics at 4D.

Alter Difficulty: Difficult. modifiers: 1 cubic cm => +0, 1 liter/1000 cubic cm => +10, 1 cubic meter => +25, 10 cubic meter => +35 (also, see Time to Use below)

Time to Use: One minute, or one action at +10 to the Alter difficulty.

Prerequisites: Absorb-Dissipate Energy, Telekinesis, Warp Matter, Cyber sense, Magnify Senses)

Effect: This discipline allows the force user to modifify the arangement of constituents within a material. Skilled practitioners can also alter the chemical, molecular and even subatomic arrangements within matter. Physical conservation laws must be obeyed. The simplest changes are microstructural re-arangement, such as the separation of oxide particles from within a block of cast aluminum. More complex changes alter the chemical compounds in an object, but not their essential elements - for example, changing ethyl alcohol to isopropyl alcohol, or coal into diamond. The most difficult sort of transmutation alters the subatomic composition of the material, changing its very elements. Matter may not be changed directly into energy with this power, although there are tales of sith converting masses of matter into highly unstable elements which subsequently decayed releasing energy. Care should be taken to not accidentally synthesise a critical mass while working with fissionable materials.
