Mutations: Of all the things that constitute the folly of Warp Sorcery, mutations are second only to daemonic possession. The Warp is pure, uncontrolled change, and those who tap into it or are exposed to it are subject to its changing. Mutations of mind, body and soul are the most common effects of coming into contact with the Warp and can range from minor but disturbing annoyances to transforming a humanoid body into a gigantic, undulating mass of chaotic horror known as a Chaos Spawn. For the level of Warp Sorcery that Damnatus possesses, he is able to inflict minor, moderate and major mutations upon his victims – likewise, he is inflicted with such corruption by use of his own abilities. It should be noted that the following list of mutations are merely suggestions – they can almost be anything. It is up to the victim to decide what kind of mutations will manifest (based around minor/moderate/major indicators), as it would be unfair to do a roll based system and have a major mutation completely cripple someone. The mutations are not permanent – surgeries and other modifications can remove them after battle (or fade away after a few days, for those that cannot be removed), or attempted to be removed on the battlefield. Healing/cleansing spells cannot remove them, though they can heal the wounds caused by surgically-removed mutations. If the mutation-giving attack is a contact one (i.e., a Warp Blast hitting a specific area), any potential mutations will generally spring up around that location. For people who do not want to have to deal with the way mutations work, then they can choose to manifest them in less "disturbing" fashions, such as open sores, burnt skin, flesh tearing open and other more common injuries (however, the pain/wtf factor of the minor/moderate/major mutations must be acknowledged, to represent the damage done with them). Mutations also cannot manifest ways that can benefit either the victim or Damnatus.
Minor: Minor mutations rarely manifest as anything more than objects morphing out of the skin. They serve as mildly painful annoyances that are still quite morbid and unsettling. Examples could be small tentacles, patches of unnatural skin, eye/hair color changing, developing awful body odor, warts and boils, leaking odd liquids, body parts slightly growing/shrinking, growing extra digits (either on hands/feet or elsewhere on body) and others. The spells that cause these mutations are Vicissitude (minor cut), Warp Blast/Torrent (.5 to 1.5 charges) and Babel’s Fusing; Damnatus can experience them through Eldritch Grasp, Unravel Energies (minor to moderate charge), Warp Blast/Torrent (.5 to 1.5 charges), Babel’s Fusing and Mutating Coagulation.
Moderate: This is when victims begin to feel true pain and horror. Moderate mutations tend to violently and painfully morph flesh or even burst out of the area. Examples could be eyes, mouths that gibber insanely, tails, beaks, benign but painful tumors, disgusting open sores, transparent skin and others. The spells that cause these mutations are Vicissitude (moderate cut), Warp Blast/Torrent (1.5 to 3 charges), Scouring and Perils of the Warp; Damnatus can experience them through Unravel Energies (moderate to heavy charge; converting normal charges to Unravel Energies), Warp Blast/Torrent (1.5 to 3 charges), Scourging and Perils of the Warp.
Major: Only a few, extremely potent things can bring about major mutations, but woe be it to those who experience them. These corruptions can bring about pain that is likened to third degree burns and the way they manifest can be somewhat debilitating and have driven lesser persons mad with terror. They can range from whole faces, violent and large tumors, parts of flesh fusing to armor, fetuses, large tentacles, withered limbs, puking up unnatural things/creatures, spikes and bones growing and protruding from the flesh, to others. The spells that can cause these mutations are Vicissitude (major cut), The Myriad Fingers of Amon ‘Chakai and Warpflame of Tzeentch; Damnatus can experience them through The Myriad Fingers of Amon ‘Chakai and Warpflame of Tzeentch.
