The Lore of the Flesh is the Lore that allows the Rabisu to reshape their own fleshly bodies, or to do so with others. It differs from the Lore of Transfiguration in that it alters the body's chemistry and functions instead of its appearance only. It is similar to the Discipline of Vicissitude, but usually aims at physiologically possible creations. The Lore of the Flesh is close to the Lore of the Beast in its 5-dot effect, but unlike Lore of the Beast, it can affect humans.
