Idea-Touched

An Idea-touched is an individual who has been altered by idea magic—whether a specific Edeia's direct influence or a system that derives from one. This is a wide category, including all persistent alterations from idea magic that do not change an individual in ways fundamental or consistent enough to constitute a species. Being Idea-touched could range from having a single unusual ability to having undergone a substantial transformation in form and capability.

An individual can be an ideogenic species, ideated, and Idea-touched at the same time, but each state should generally be independent. In some cases, an individual is first Idea-touched as part of the process towards becoming an ideogenic species, such as for Malums. 

Idea-touched status should be persistent, whether it lasts without any effort or requires active maintenance. It can be permanent or reversible. 

Examples

These examples are non-exhaustive. Idea-touched are fairly common in the Ideation universe, and you do not require approval to make Idea-touched for your Edeia.

If you have at least three entries, you can request a consistent color for your username. Auspice may adjust the color for visibility and coherence with the rest of the colors in the sheet.
