   * **Others within a limited range can be subjected to Shift magic.** With practice and effort, a shifter can change others in the same way and subject to the same rules.

-Shifters have one of the highest survival rates in the world beyond the [[geopolitical:citadel:|Citadel]], simply because - if they survive long enough to get a grasp of their powers - they can pass for ordinary takmar for long stretches of time.
