Molecular Transformation

Definition

Statements

• Only the Psychons seem to have mastery of this, apparently nascent in their biological form and/or mind (though it requires some learning to invoke), but also being able to transform non-living objects via (at least) a biological computer. See the Notes, however.
• Individuals with this capability are most typically known as metamorphs.
• A biological computer on Psychon with the ability to transform other objects was named Psyche.
• Metamorphs are known to have limits (see Maya as a Metamorph for some examples).
• Psyche was built in the attempt to revert an entire planet from a highly volcanic world to its once far more pristine form.

Speculation

• Psyche was started with the minds of some Psychons as the planet died, so perhaps the mental energy (?) carried some aspect of this ability into the biological computer, for Mentor to control. Or perhaps the Psychons figured out some aspect of their own biological ability and learned to build some technology to echo aspects of that. Or perhaps much of Psychon is infused with this 'potential' and it 'just' has to be harnessed, mentally or technologically.

Notes

• However, the Dorcons have a technology capable of turning matter into energy, reshaping it, transferring it, and reforming it back into matter. It is known as a Meson Converter and works at large scale collections of mass, rather than at the individual level, and the name seems to imply a different process. The Dorcons also have means of controlling Psychon metamorphs.
