Can't with Elemental magic, it would have to be in the common magic format.
Which would about quadruple the cost.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Is there any PPE costs that are given for things like when Metamorphosis is done on yourself compared to the ritual magic on someone else (there isnt in RUE)?

Of course, an astral lord/mage could just code the spell into his realm and then make someone a cocreator to give them access to it.


Sounds like a cool OCC!
What book can I Find that one in?



The Nightbane Nightspawn book 'Between The Shadows'.
The Nuclear Chaos
That thing is not dead which has the capacity to continue to exist eternally,
And if the abnormal ones come,then death may cease to be

Smiling_Bandit - Guesses you could use that with the right knowledge and get your very own Baal-Rog body

Yup, Old Ones.

Badass power circle. Transfer your essence into a target being and suck their essence into your being. I.e. an essence swap. So you could become a dragon. Or a gorgeous elf. Or even a faerie.

The circle's intended use in the adventure was to transfer the essence of an Old One into a witch and then into a wax simulacrum of an Old One. (therefore regnerating it's body)

The rub with this circle is that the essence goes both ways. Unless you use the diamond method, which leaves the body empty to die a mindless/soulless death. Then whomever greedily grabs the diamond gets their soul/essence sucked into the diamond and the circle mage is now in the unsuspecting theif's body.
