These machines, each one no larger than a cell's nucleus, form a reactive network within a living organism. Given direction through trinary computer instructions, a nanomech field can make edits to a living organism at the subgenetic level, literally rewriting physiology on the fly. Having attained Mastery of Life, Furio is able to make radical alterations to both his own physical form as well as any other living creature. He can heal, harm, augment, metamorphose, and otherwise alter any type of living creature, without regard for species or physical limitation. | + | | Study and manipulation of living organics is covered by this highly esoteric Codebase.

Paired with a trinary device, he is able to sample a substance's atomic structure and make changes to it via quantum induction. Furio's access to Matter Code has grown advanced. He is capable of altering the shape of inorganic objects, changing their state and profile as he wishes. Solids may be rendered liquid without requiring a change in melting point. Through the use of other Codebases, he can integrate uniform substances into other Patterns, interlacing them seamlessly into a single whole. With greater understanding, he will be able to affect complex assemblies of Matter, working on alloys of material or fully assembled goods and machines. At the pinnacle of Matter understanding, he will learn how to change the basic chemical properties of things without altering their structure, and even create material elements that do not exist in nature.<br><br> |

It is the fundamental Fifth Force, simultaneously representing potential change and concrete existence. All things are composed of this Quintessence.

The Virtual Adepts are the newest Tradition, having defected from the Technocratic Union just over sixty years ago. As such, they still retain much of their Technocratic understanding, particularly when it comes to matters of the human soul. Though newer Virtual Adepts are beginning to accept the concept of the Avatar, there are many who still refer to it by its Technocratic term--the Genius. Furio in particular subscribes to this method. He has never actually seen his Avatar. For him, his higher self has taken the form of an enlightened intuition. A means of seeing the universe not with his eyes, but with his mind. When he undergoes Seekings to advance his Arete, he does not enter a dreamscape. Rather, he solves puzzles and riddles in the waking world. It is there, in the world he shares with every other human in the world, that he finds the answers to all his questions.
