Either intentionally or by accident, a mage can transform someone halfway – giving him goat-legs and a human torso, for example, or manifesting jaguar claws at the end of otherwise-human arms. Game-wise, this involves rolling at least half of the usual successes needed. For, say, Jennifer Rollins to give herself jaguar claws, she’d need only one success; to give Jinx those claws, however, she’d need at least two.

The “minor alterations” applications of Life 3 (or, for other complex organisms, Life 4) can also be used for apparently “partial” transformations, too. If Jennifer wants claws, she could simply use Life 3, to grow jaguar claws, instead of Life 4, which would allow her to transform into a full jaguar form.
