We need a new pinned post

The forums always have one thread where a person asks if they can transfom into a vampire, werewolf, or something else. I have never seen a person with anyone with a reputation level answer that it is possible.

I think to save time someone with a knowledgable rating should pin a thread as to why this is impossible along with alternatives to people who want some connection to vamparism or a wolf (Totem animals, energy vampires, etc) to the general information, spell suggestions, and site spells threads. It'll save lots of time and it can be informative and if written properly even satisfying for peopel looking for these kinds of changes.

Another idea, is that there should be a list of the most common magical traditions and paths, with links and resources on how to get started. And it should all be in one place

We would always say that such things are not possible; simply because they are not possible!
We are Human animals,primates, and we can never change into anything else.

Of course it's impossible.

It's just that I think it should be in one big shiny post to save the time and energy of reanswering that question

People who are unhappy with who they are to the point of wanting to change their species are not going to just respond to a simple.

They need to know why it's impossible. Knowing the real limitations of magic is useful anyway. You can also give close approximations to what they want if they are truly that desperate.

For example enchanting a wolf skin or tooth to make you more bestial in personality while you wear it is not really outside the realm of possibility. And it's probably the source of berserkers and skin-changers of native american lore.

Energy vampires, people who have rips in their aura are thought by many magical traditions to be real enough. And we all know at least one person who sucks all the life from a room.

How you appear on the astral plane (wolf, vampire, demon, etc.) is really your business.

It should be pinned to the forums just like the Getting Started thread

The problem really is that new members are writing posts all the time. And if we did have a single thread as you suggest, we would still get the young asking the same questions.

I suggest you have a different section in the forums for it. I mean you have a different section for these spells and at least they won't get in anyone's way who's trying to find something on the fourms

That would be funny/depressing.

A whole section devoted to the matter, and the first saying post saying it's impossible.

I just think the pinned thread will let people easily point it out and if you see a person post a vampire question you just know they're not really paying attention or looking at the resources on this site

I don't think it would end the problem, but it might stop new comers to magic from gettting the wrong idea, and maybe even answer some peoples questions.

I see what you saying like have a strait up well explanation for why transformation spell wont work but yet at the same time give them a place ask over that and not get mixed up from fact to fiction.
