Soul Transmutation

A guide to creating soul transmutation recipes.

Soul transmutation is the newest kind of recipe found in Spirit. It cannot be used to create items, but rather turn souls into other souls, or souls into a living entity.

Format

Registering a new soul transmutation, just like the rest of the data in Spirit, must be done through the recipe folder.
