Exactly this is the point its a highpowered very unusual magic, similiar to
cybermancy from which it draws the basic idea of altering the astral template.
In my game it happened once to me by the GM, my char ened up in a lab of some
nasty gentech corp as test sample was SLOWLY turned into a
shifter....brainwashed and all such nice stuff. They wanted to create a `super
soldier`. So to keep her alive they draw on help from some better unnamed
mages to perform this ritual on her.
The whole thing lasted around 10 full blwon runs till she got free again, the
whole campaign took nearly a year.
And why does want a shifter cyber? Yep, thats the TRICKY part...
