Pandoran (Transmutation)

Pandoran is a class of Transmutations used by, naturally, the Pandorans. It can also be used by Prometheans of the Centimani Refinement and some regular Prometheans. While Pandoran Transmutations are indeed powerful, few Prometheans are able to master them, as they increase the Disquiet and Flux around them, and may even cause the Promethean to lose Humanity.

In Second Edition, most Pandoran abilities have been reclassified as Dread Powers, which Prometheans cannot learn.
