Thaumaturges practicing the art of Alchemy can manipulate the forms of solids, liquids and gases. Guns and knives melt into pools of liquid, wood petrifies and becomes brittle, and common boundaries such as walls and doors transmute to vapor. This path is looked upon somewhat unfavorably among the Tremere, as it reflects a "quick and dirty" effect rather than true mastery of alchemical transmutation.

1 • Fortify the Solid Form

A magus can increase the strength and integrity of an item. A feather can become a crude blunt object, pencils become makeshift stakes, and a car becomes as tough as a tank.

2 • Crystallize the Liquid Form

Tremere designed this power to prevent other Kindred from taking vitae. This can also be used to solidify water and molten metal. Liquids within living bodies may not be altered, though blood exiting the body may be solidified. Kindred cannot consume solidified blood. (must spend amount of BP intending to use)

3 • Liquefy the Solid Form

A thaumaturge may "melt" solid objects and leave them in a liquid state. Stakes rot away at a rapid pace, knives corrode into soft, nondescript puddles. Some wily thaumaturges might even transmute bullets before they impact an intended victim. line of sight. When the object reforms from a liquid, it will likely assume a deformed state and be rendered useless. Lasts for one scene. This may not be used on living (or unliving) beings.

4 • Gaol

The air is solidified into an opaque, indestructible object. A crude shimmering prism forms around a victim's body, encasing him within unbreakable material. A Warlock may solidify the air within 50 yards of his person. Lasts for one scene. Victims trapped within the solid air will be unable to break through (not even with Potence), though mortals will not suffocate. The oxygen within the block is breathable, though liquidlike.

5 • Ghost Wall

After mastering this, a thaumaturge will no longer be hindered by such things as walls and rock formations. With but a thought, solid objects shift to a vaporous state and may be traversed with little difficulty. The Warlock passes beyond walls, targets fall through a gaseous floor. Must be within thaumaturges line of sight. This lasts for one scene.
