You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Dante K.C. Williams, Created by Botchbrother.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

The hands and arms of the druid are changed into a metal amalgamation of human limbs and the clawed digits of an inhuman beast. The Biomechanical Druid can channel their gifts through the living metal of their body work with machines and the spirit circuit but they are now forever marked as a servant of the spirit circuit.
