Transmutation (object) – The ability to turn a person into an object such as a puppet, toy, painting, etc. Transmutation (object) is also known as Inanimate Transmogrification, Inanimate Transmutation and Object Transmutation. Similar to 454) Transmutation (animal), 455) Transmutation (elemental), 456) Transmutation (gold), 457) Transmutation (insect), 458) Transmutation (limited), 460) Transmutation (organic) and 461) Transmutation (petrification). If a robot is an object then robotization is a subcategory of this power. I deal with robotization as half of a two way process in 441) Technomimicry.
