Beneficial

These beneficial mutations are helpful, always active and do not appear in the ABIL tab. When stability is sufficiently low (below 40) some have a chance to degrade into a worse mutation.

Mutation	Stability	Reclaim	Probability	Degrades To	Gain Message	Lose Message	Description	Effects
Airless Breathing	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Has the same effect as Anaerobic Metabolism, but would be obtained contractually rather than via genetics. Currently impossible to obtain under normal circumstances.
Alcohol Resistance	0	10	99	Ethanol Production	You feel unusually sober.	You feel like you could use a stiff drink.	Strongly reinforces the subject's nervous system against alcoholic intoxication.	You do not suffer most of the effects of Ethanol, e.g. the blurred vision and mistepping, though you'll still have drunkenly slurred speech. You can also drink Bo Jack Daniel's without passing out. At the start of the round, the Detective, Head of Security and Bartender will normally spawn with this mutation as a Trait.
Anaerobic Metabolism	-40	40	8	Frontal Gyrus Suspension	Your lungs feel strangely empty.	You start gasping for air.	Allows the subject's body to generate its own oxygen internally, invalidating the need for respiration.	Prevents you from taking any damage from lack of oxygen and inhaling harmful gases like plasma, but not Smoke Powder -- you still need a Gas Mask, Gloves & Biosuit for those!
Cold Resistance	-10	10	66	Dermal Glitter	You feel warm.	You feel cold.	Shields the subject's cellular structure against freezing temperatures and crystallization.	You are immune to low temperature and ice. While your body temperature can still drop to freezing and below (allowing you still benefit from Cryoxadone), you won't be slowed down. You have a noticeable blue aura.
Fire Resistance	-10	10	66	Blazing Aura	You feel cold.	You feel warm.	Shields the subject's cellular structure against high temperatures and flames.	You are immune to high temperature and fire. You have a noticeable orange aura.
Gamma Ray Exposure	-25	30	33	Musculature Enhancement	You feel your muscles swell to an immense size.	Your muscles shrink back down.	Vastly enhances the subject's musculature. May cause severe melanocyte corruption.	Your skin turns green, and your punches knock people away from you and do more damage. Your fists can instantly break tables, asteroid rock, wooden doors (but not any other doors), and grilles if they've fairly low health, and they can break windows, walls, and Clown Cars with enough time. You can pull corpses, people you've grabbed, people who aren't on Help intent, and things that contain either with no slowdown. Watch your health; if you get too hurt, your muscles will shrink back down.
Hemopoiesis Overdrive	-15	10	20	N/A	You feel like being stabbed isn't such a big deal anymore.	You are once again afraid of being stabbed.	Subject regenerates blood far faster than the average spaceman.	When you have less than 500 units of blood in you, you regenerate blood faster than usual at around 6 units per second. Stacks with Filgrastim's blood regeneration.
High Decay Digestion	-10	10	33	Apocrine Enhancement	Your stomach grumbles unpleasantly.	Your stomach stops acting up. Phew!	Causes the subject's digestion to create a significant amount of noxious gas.	Your farts create clouds of jenkem, which goes straight into the bloodstream of anyone who breathes it in.
Lupine Regeneration	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	You feel oddly feral.	You feel more comfortable in your own skin.	Subject's cells are programmed to reshape itself into a canine form.	An extra-powerful form of Regeneration that Werewolves get in their Werewolf form. It functions exactly the same but the healing rate is 2 BRUTE and 2 BURN every few seconds and the chance to regrow limbs is now 2%. This cannot be removed from the Werewolf in any way except by transforming back into a human, i.e. no mutation storage, no mutadone, etc., and it normally cannot be found in people's Potential. If you somehow gain this mutation without being a Werewolf, you get lycanthropy.
Meta-Neural Antenna	-5	30	33	Spatial Destabilization	You can hear weird chatter in your head.	The weird noise in your head stops.	Enables the subject's brain to pick up radio signals.	You can hear all radio channels (excluding syndicate) without a headset.
Meta-Neural Enhancement	0	10	99	Paranoia	Your mind feels closed.	You feel oddly exposed.	Boosts efficiency in sectors of the brain commonly associated with resisting meta-mental energies.	You cannot be mind-read or telepathically spoken to. Doesn't affect the Admin's telepathy, obviously.
Meta-Neural Haze	-5	10	100	N/A	N/A	N/A	Causes the subject's brain to emit waves that make the subject's body difficult to observe.	Your character can't be Examined.
Musculature Enhancement	0	10	99	N/A	You feel buff!	You feel wimpy and weak.	Enhances the subject's ability to build and retain heavy muscles.	You gain a slight strength bonus to mining. Also negates the speed penalty from pulling objects somewhat. Maybe it has other uses...
Natural Anti-Toxins	-15	10	66	Blood Toxification	Your pulse seems to relax.	Your pulse quickens.	Enables the subject's bloodstream to purge foreign substances more rapidly.	Increases the depletion rate of all chemicals in your bloodstream. Note that this is not exclusive to poisons; it affects all chemicals. Cannot be cured by Mutadone.
Night Vision	-25	30	33	Diminished Optic Nerves	Everything suddenly appears oddly lit.	You blink and something seems to vanish.	Enhances the subject's optic nerves, allowing them to see in the dark.	Darkness is greatly reduced. Pitch-black areas will still appear dim, though not enough to significantly reduce visibility.
Noir	-5	10	99	N/A	You feel chromatic pain.	Colors around you begin returning to normal.	The subject generates a light-defying aura, equalizing photons in such a way that make them look completely grayscale.	Your whole body, including any held and worn items, become completely grayscale.
Physically Fit	-5	30	50	N/A	You feel slightly more energetic.	You feel slightly less energetic.	Causes the subject to be naturally more physically fit than the average spaceman.	Your max stamina is increased by 30, and your stamina regen is increased by 2.
Pseudonecrosis	-5	10	99	N/A	N/A	N/A	Causes the subject's cells to mimic a death-like state.	You are recognized as dead by all medical scanners and machinery.
Radiation Resistance	-15	10	100	Radioactive	N/A	N/A	Shields the subject's cellular structure against ionizing radiation.	You are immune to Radiation. While you'll still get the Irradiated status effect, you don't suffer the resulting mutations or the associated TOX and BURN damage.
Regeneration	-40	40	8	Mutagenic Field	Your skin feels tingly and shifty.	Your skin tightens.	Overcharges the subject's natural healing, enabling them to rapidly heal from any wound.	You slowly regenerate brute and burn damage and regain lost limbs, eyes, hearts, brains, lungs, and other organs over time.
SMES Human	-15	10	66	Motor Neuron Signal Enhancement	Your hair stands on end.	The tingling in your skin fades.	Protects the subject's cellular structure from electrical energy.	You are protected from electrical energy. Useful when the AI is shocking everything or a malicious Engineer has hotwired the engine and you are lacking Insulated Gloves. You will also resist shocks from Stun Batons, but not the more concentrated electric bursts of Energy Guns and Tasers. On the flip side however, this includes Defibrillators.
Super Regeneration	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	You begin to feel your flesh mending back together. Grody.	Your flesh stops mending itself together.	Subject's cells are capable of repairing immense trauama at an unbelievably rapid rate.	Your cells repair immense trauma at an unbelievably rapid rate. Cannot be cured by Mutadone. Never appears in Potential.
Telekinesis	-30	40	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	You feel your consciousness expand outwards.	Your conciousness closes inwards.	Enables the subject to project kinetic energy using certain thought patterns.	You can project kinetic energy using thought patterns. Never appears in Potential.
Thermal Resistance	-10	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	Thermal Vulnerability	N/A	N/A	Shields the subject's cellular structure against any harmful temperature exposure.	You are immune to all changes in temperature, fire and ice. You gain an aura which flicks between orange and blue. Never appears in Potential.
Toxic Resistance	-40	40	8	Blood Toxification	You feel refreshed and clean.	You feel a bit grody.	Renders the subject's blood immune to toxification. This will not stop other effects of poisons from occurring, however.	You are immune to toxin damage, though you'll still have to heal up any toxin damage you had before acquiring the mutation. You will still be susceptible to any other effects of poisons, such as radiation, burn damage, stuns, and suffocation. Cannot be cured by Mutadone.
Unstable Refraction	0	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	N/A	N/A	The subject will occasionally become invisible. The subject has no control or awareness of this occurring.	You randomly flicker in and out of invisibility at random. Never appears in Potential.
X-Ray Vision	-30	40	33	Diminished Optic Nerves	You suddenly seem to be able to see through everything.	Your vision fades back to normal.	Enhances the subject's optic nerves, allowing them to see on x-ray wavelengths.	Basically wearing Optical Meson Scanners and Optical Thermal Scanners at the same time, as it lets you can see through walls and see through the invisibilty cloak from cloaking devices, Chameleon, and Cloak of Darkness. Doesn't decrease or remove darkness, but it also doesn't increase the darkness of areas beyond your normal line of sight, unlike mesons.

Harmful

These harmful mutations will typically hinder you more than they help you, sometimes significantly so. They are always active and do not appear in the ABIL tab. On the upside, they almost always increase your genetic stability rather than decreasing it.

Mutation	Stability	Reclaim	Probability	Gain Message	Lose Message	Description	Effects
Anemia	5	10	55	You feel lightheaded.	Your lightheadedness fades.	Subject has an abnormally low amount of red blood cells.	Your body can now accommodate only 400 units of blood, and if it goes over that, it quickly loses it. As a result, you'll often be at risk of entering shock, and bleeding out is more dangerous.
Blindness	20	10	33	You can't seem to see anything!	Your vision returns!	Disconnects the optic nerves from the brain, rendering the subject unable to see.	You no longer see action messages about what you and other people are doing and cannot see anything beyond a very small distance from you. You can still interact with things via right-click menu, and you can click on pills/patches/auto-injectors in-hand to use them on yourself, but you otherwise can't do much. To fix this without modifying DNA, you can equip a pair of VISOR Goggles.
Blood Toxification	20	10	13	You feel really sick...	You don't feel sick any more.	Impairs the subject's blood filtration, resulting in gradual toxic buildup that must be purged by outside assistance.	You occasionally (10% chance every few seconds) suffer one unit of toxin damage.
Booster Gene Q	-15	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	N/A	This gene has random, unpredictable effects on the subject.	A strange mutation that makes you do strange things. These things include: Make weird noises. Perform random emotes. Heal yourself slightly. Change colour. Change the colour/type of the floor you're standing on. Teleport randomly.
Chronic Cough	0	10	99	You feel an irritating itch in your throat.	Your throat clears up.	Enhances the sensitivity of nerves in the subject's throat, causing periodic coughing fits.	You occasionally cough, dropping anything in your hands.
Chronic Sneezing	0	10	66	You feel an irritating itch in your nose.	Your nose clears up.	Enhances the sensitivity of nerves in the subject's nose, causing periodic sneezing.	You sometimes sneeze, causing you to drop whatever you where holding.
Coprolalia	0	10	99	You can't seem to shut up!	You feel more in control.	Causes involuntary outbursts from the subject.	You'll occasionally blurt out short, typically profane, utterances.
Deafness	20	10	33	It's quiet. Too quiet.	You can hear again!	Diminishes the subject's tympanic membrane, rendering them unable to hear.	You can't hear anything and are immune to most forms of ear damage. Blessed silence may come as a relief once you've gotten sick of the regular radio chatter. To fix this without modifying DNA, you can equip an auditory headset.
Deuteranopia	0	10	99	Everything starts looking a lot less green.	You notice a few extra colors.	Selectively inhibits the L-cones in the subject's eyes, causing green to be indistinguishable from red.	You can't tell the difference between red and green, and everything else looks a lot more amber.
Diminished Optic Nerves	5	10	99	Your vision blurs.	Your vision is no longer blurry.	Reduces the subject's ability to see clearly without glasses or other visual aids.	Your vision becomes blurred, and darkened outside a small radius. Can be counteracted with Prescription Glasses.
Dyspraxia	5	10	66	You feel kind of off-balance and disoriented.	You feel well co-ordinated again.	Hinders transmissions in the subject's nervous system, causing poor motor skills.	In short, you're clumsy. Several actions have a flat chance to comically backfire, often harming you or causing extra damage. For example, you might accidentally start cuffing yourself when cuffing others, jab yourself while using a fork, and shoot yourself when firing a gun. Conducting surgery and handling grenades and guns become particularly dangerous. One upside: this lets you put crayons in clown shoes to crayon-walk!
Electromagnetic Field	10	10	20	You feel more connected to electromagnetic fields.	You feel less connected to electromagnetic fields.	The subject produces small, random electromagnetic pulses around it.	Tiny, 1 tile, EMP bursts occasionally occur within a 2-tile radius around you. These EMPs can and often do hit the tile you're on, and they cause the same effects as the EMP grenades (radios malfunctioning, batteries draining, etc.)
Extreme Narcolepsy	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You feel more tired than you've ever thought possible.	You feel more awake than you've ever been in your whole life.	Like narcolepsy, but worse and incurable.	You fall asleep at random like with narcolepsy but around twice as frequently. It's also not curable with Mutadone, nor is it visible in the GeneTek scanner. Obtained contractually rather than via genetics.
Frontal Gyrus Suspension	20	10	33	You feel unable to express yourself at all.	You feel able to speak freely again.	Completely shuts down the speech center of the subject's brain.	You become mute. You are unable to speak, and every attempt at talking just gives you the message "You seem to be unable to speak." The *scream emote (Hotkey: `Ctrl` + `S`) no longer makes sound and instead does one of a random set of unique messages describing how you have no voice and must scream. The Mime gimmick job starts with an unremovable version this, as an enforced vow of silence.
High-Power Mutagenic Field	0	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	N/A	N/A	Similar to Mutagenic Field, but with the possibility of mutating others that are near you in addition to yourself. Obtained contractually rather than via genetics.
Irritable Bowels	0	10	99	Your guts are rumbling.	Your guts settle down.	Causes the subject to experience frequent involuntary flatus.	You automatically and intermittently fart.
Jugglemancer's Curse	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You feel the need to juggle	You no longer feel the need to juggle.	Places a mystical hex upon the subject that compels the subject to juggle.	Gives you the ability to juggle, and will cause you to do so at random. Obtained contractually rather than via genetics.
Meta-Neural Transferral	0	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You wanna be somebody else.	You're happy with yourself.	The subject's brainwaves will occasionally involuntarily switch with those of another near them.	You will occasionally swap bodies with people near you. It appears that the mutation stays with your body, not your mind.
Motor Neuron Signal Enhancement	20	10	33	One of your limbs feels a bit strange and twitchy.	Your limb feels fine again.	Causes involuntary muscle contractions in limbs, due to a loss of inhibition of motor neurons.	A random limb, chosen upon mutation acquirement, proceeds to strangle you, kick you in the head, and do various other harmful actions.
Mutagenic Field	-50	10	33	Your flesh begins to warp and contort weirdly!	You stop warping and contorting. Phew, what a relief...	The subject emits low-level radiation that may cause everyone in range to mutate.	You occasionally spontaneously mutate, with a higher chance of receiving bad mutations than good.
Narcolepsy	5	10	66	You feel a bit sleepy.	You feel wide awake.	Alters the sleep center of the subject's brain, causing bouts of involuntary sleepiness.	You randomly to fall asleep.
Nectar Perspiration	10	10	70	Your guts are rumbling.	Your guts settle down.	Causes the subject to perspire nectar that attracts abnormally small bees.	A swarm of tiny lil' bees surrounds you. These bees sometimes sting those who attack you in melee, injecting them with a little bit of histamine, but they also can sting you at any time, giving you histamine. In either case, wearing armor (or any other form of protection) does not prevent from being stung.
Paranoia	0	10	100	They're gonna get you!!!!!	You calm down.	Causes the subject to become easily startled.	You automatically and intermittently scream.
Physically Unfit	5	30	60	You feel slightly less energetic.	You feel slightly more energetic.	Causes the subject to be naturally less physically fit than the average spaceman.	Your max stamina is reduced by 30, and your stamina regen is reduced by 2.
Polycythemia	5	10	45	Your breathing quickens.	Your breathing returns to normal.	Subject has an abnormally high amount of red blood cells.	If you have less than 600 units of blood in you, you regain blood at an accelerated rate (3 units per second, compared to just 1 per second), until you reach 600 units. Doesn't seem too bad, until you starting developing hypertension from your heart having to pump to all that blood...
Protanopia	0	10	99	Everything starts looking a lot more yellow.	You notice a few extra colors.	Selectively inhibits the L-cones in the subject's eyes, causing red-green colorblindness.	You can't see the color red and, to some extent, green. Instead you see yellow. Werewolves have this when transformed.
Psychic Fart Link	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You feel the gas of a thousand souls	You no longer feel so gassy.	Creates a neural fart linkage between all life-forms within 15 kilometers	When you fart, everyone nearby farts too. You'll also fart begin to fart at random and your farts become toxic. Obtained contractually rather than via genetics. Currently only available via admin intervention.
Radioactive	-10	10	66	You feel a strange sickness permeate your whole body.	You no longer feel awful and sick all over.	The subject suffers from constant radiation sickness and causes the same on nearby organics.	You suffer from radiation sickness and cause the same to nearby people. May also give you more bad mutations.
Spatial Destabilization	-15	10	33	You feel a bit out of place.	You feel firmly rooted in place again.	Causes the subject's molecular structure to become partially unstuck in space.	You teleport at random. Fortunately you can't teleport onto space tiles. Unfortunately you can teleport onto things covering space tiles, like catwalks.
Stupefaction	10	10	66	Your thoughts become disorderly and hard to control.	Your mind regains its former clarity.	Causes damage to the subject's brain structure, occassionally utterly stupefying and stunning them.	You will occasionally be stunned for a few seconds and be knocked down to the floor.
Thermal Vulnerability	20	10	40	You break out into a cold sweat.	The air feels more comfortable again.	Cripples the subject's thermoregulation, rendering them more vulnerable to abnormal temperatures.	Pretty much the opposite of Thermal Resistance. You are significantly less tolerant of extreme temperatures and return to regular body temperatures much slower.
Tinnitus	5	10	99	You hear a ringing in your ears.	The ringing has stopped...Finally. Thank the Space-Gods.	Causes the subject to almost constantly hear a terrible/annoying ringing in their ears.	Occasionally, you hear a ringing sound in your ears, similar to that of a phone ringing. It persists even if you are deaf.
Tourettes	5	10	66	You feel like you can't control your actions fully.	You feel in full control of yourself once again.	Alters the subject's brain structure, causing periodic involuntary movements and outbursts.	Your speech will often come out as excited shouts in ALL CAPS, be horribly misspelled, and instead of saying "say" before everything you, well... say, it will say that you "gibbered". Also, sometimes things you say will be broadcast over the radio if you are wearing one, in all its CAPS filled glory, whether you want it to or not.
Tritanopia	0	10	99	Everything starts looking a lot less blue.	You notice a few extra colors.	Selectively inhibits the L-cones in the subject's eyes, causing blue colorblindness.	You can't tell the difference between blue and green, and everything else looks a bit more desaturated.

Acidic Mass Emesis	0	10	100	N/A	N/A	N/A	^[TBA]
Adrenaline Rush	-5	10	66	You feel hype!	You don't feel so pumped anymore.	Enables the user to voluntarily empty glands of stimulants. May be dangerous with repeated use.	You get an activated ability that allows you to recover from stuns by putting various stimulating and painkilling drugs in your bloodstream. Also one of the only genetic mutations that can be used while incapacitated.
Brown Note	-15	10	100	You feel mischievous!	You want to behave yourself again.	Allows the subject to emit noises that can cause involuntary flatus in others.	You get a "Brown Note" ability that produces a sound that makes up to 7 people (10 if empowered) around you fart. Be careful around bibles!
Chameleon	-20	10	33	You feel one with your surroundings.	You feel oddly exposed.	The subject becomes able to subtly alter light patterns to become invisible, as long as they remain still.	When toggled on, you become invisible while standing still ; you'll know you've become invisible because you'll see a faint light blue aura around you. The AI, Cyborgs, people wearing optical thermal scanners, and people with X-Ray Vision can still see you. This can work against you in more ways than one.
Cloak of Darkness	-20	10	33	You begin to fade into the shadows.	You become fully visible.	Enables the subject to bend low levels of light around themselves, creating a cloaking effect.	Activate this ability, and now you're invisible while in the dark. You can tell if it's dark enough if you have a dark grey aura around you; generally ill-lit maintenance sections and rooms where the lights are broken/have been turned off are dark enough to hide in. This does not work in Space or the Seafloor. The AI, Cyborgs, people wearing optical thermal scanners, and people with X-Ray Vision can still see you. Vampires get this power for their Bat Form Mk II ability.
Cryokinesis	-10	10	66	You notice a strange cold tingle in your fingertips.	Your fingers feel warmer.	Allows the subject to control ice and cold.	You gain the ability to cool people down significantly by firing a ball of ice at them, and to get on everyone's nerves by creating patches of slippery ice on the floor.

Dimension Shift	-20	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You can see a faint blue light.	The blue light fades away.	Phase out and hide in another dimension.	You can enter a pocket dimension, rendering you immune to any and all outside events, but you're unable to move while within this space until you exit. Basically, an indestructible, incorporeal closet on command. Any effects that are doing damage to you such as a heart attack or damage from poison still happen.
Empathic Thought	-5	10	99	You suddenly notice more about others than you did before.	You no longer feel able to sense intentions.	The subject becomes able to read the minds of others for certain information.	You gain an ability that lets you read the minds of others, telling you a random thought of no significance and clues about their current intent (as in Disarm, Grab, etc., not necessarily the player's actual intent), current health, and their PIN number and other notes.
Erebokinesis	-5	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	Everything seems too bright!	It's too dark!	Allows the subject to snuff out all light in an area.	You can snuff out all light in an area, akin to a darkness artifact.
Fading	0	Unreclaimable	Doesn't Occur Naturally	N/A	N/A	Allows the subject to become visible or invisible at will.	^[TBA]
Fire Breath	-10	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	Your throat is burning!	Your throat feels a lot better now.	Allows the subject to exhale fire.	You can exhale fire.
Healing Touch	-10	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	Your hands radiate a comforting aura.	The aura around your hands dissipates.	Allows the subject to heal the wounds of others with a touch.	You gain an ability that can heal an adjacent human for a small amount of damage.
High-Pressure Intestines	-15	10	33	You feel bloated and gassy.	You no longer feel gassy. What a relief!	Vastly increases the gas capacity of the subject's digestive tract.	Blow away your foes with your tremendous farts! Beware: if Empowered, you will not just blow away your foes, but also yourself.
Incendiary Mitochondria	-10	10	66	You suddenly feel rather hot.	You no longer feel uncomfortably hot.	The subject becomes able to convert excess cellular energy into thermal energy.	You set yourself on fire and become a human torch. This is a very bad thing if you don't want to burn alive. If you have Heat Resistance this will instead fizzle and do nothing.
Ink Glands	-2	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You feel artistic.	You don't really feel artistic anymore.	Allows the subject to expel modified melanin.	You gain the ability to paint nearby people and objects a random color.
Jumpy	-5	10	99	Your leg muscles feel taut and strong.	Your leg muscles shrink back to normal.	Allows the subject to leap great distances.	You gain a jump that moves you half a screen in no time at all. Just make sure you don't use it while inside a container/vehicle of some sort, or you won't like the result...
Mass Emesis	-10	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You feel sick.	You feel much better!	Allows the subject to expel chemicals via the mouth.	You can expel whatever chemicals were in your bloodstream as a beam of vomit. Anyone caught in the beam absorbs the chems.
Matter Eater	-5	10	66	You feel hungry.	You don't feel quite so hungry anymore.	Allows the subject to eat just about anything without harm.	You can eat many more items than normal, like weapons from disarmed opponents, or even your own body parts! Just remember that you need certain body parts to live...
Midas Touch	-5	10	99	Your fingers sparkle and gleam.	Your fingers return to normal.	Allows the subject to transmute materials at will.	You gain the ability to turn certain items into solid gold! This includes your own butt (and other limbs). Just don't expect to get super-rich from selling your transmuted gold bars; the traders can tell that it wasn't originally genuine gold. There's also a chance you're just turn items in flesh (Grody!) instead of gold; the less stability you have, the more likely this'll happen.
Optic Energizer	-10	10	33	Your eyes ache and burn.	Your eyes stop aching.	Imbues the subject's eyes with the potential to project concentrated thermal energy.	You gain an "Eyebeams" ability that fires laser beams from your eyes, even if there's something blocking your eyes (e.g. a blindfold). These are different from the ones used by energy guns and their ilk; these do only 20 BURN and only very slightly heat up objects they pass over (they can still ignite plasma though). The Discount Superhero Spooktober job has a chance to spawn with a nonlethal version that drains 80 Stamina, on par with a taser.
Photokinesis	-5	10	Doesn't Occur Naturally	Everything seems too dark!	It's too bright!	Allows the subject to create a source of light.	You can create a radiant point of light.
Polymorphism	-15	10	66	You don't feel entirely like yourself somehow.	You feel secure in your identity.	Enables the subject to reconfigure their appearance to mimic that of others.	You can take on the appearance and name of a crewmember by touching them.
Self Biomass Manipulation	-5	10	66	You feel strange and jiggly.	You feel more solid.	The subject becomes able to transform the matter of their cells into a liquid state.	You can turn yourself into a liquid that can phase through walls and other solid objects, sort of like a genetic version of the wizard's Phase Shift. If it doesn't have the Synchronized chromosome, your clothes won't come with you, so you come out naked; if it is Synchronized, they do! If it misfires due to insufficient stability, you drop a random clothing item you were wearing if it was Synchronized, and if it wasn't, you drop an random internal organ (not limbs or brain, but does include heart). Note: This power used to trigger the unsynchronized effect if you were anywhere on the Restricted area, but now it simply states that "you cannot seem to turn incorporeal here.")
Telekinesis	-30	40	Doesn't Occur Naturally	You feel your consciousness expand outwards.	Your conciousness closes inwards.	Allows the subject to influence physical objects through utilizing latent powers in their mind.	^[TBA]
Telekinetic Pull	-15	40	8	You feel your consciousness expand outwards.	Your conciousness closes inwards.	Allows the subject to influence physical objects through utilizing latent powers in their mind.	You can send unanchored items flying from afar by click-dragging them from one tile to another. You can also perform a Telekinetic Smash, which throws all unanchored objects near to a location into it. This doesn't work on items of "gigantic" size or larger, e.g. pianos, TTV bombs. Works great with X-ray vision.
Telepathy	-5	10	99	You can hear your own voice echoing in your mind.	Your mental voice fades away.	Allows the subject to project their thoughts into the minds of other organics.	You gain the ability to communicate telepathically. Telepathic messages show up to the recipient as "A psychic voice echoes, "[TEXT]"" in hotpink. Don't use this to impersonate the admins.
Trichochromatic Shift	0	10	66	Your hair itches.	You feel more confident in your hair color.	Enables the subject to shift their hair color to a different region.	Gives a Trichochromatic Shift ability that switches your hair colors around; this works even if you only have one piece of hair, because it looks at all three colors you set in your Character Preferences. Due to how it shifts colors around, three uses of the ability sets your hair colors back to normal.
Very-High-Pressure Intestines	0	10	100	You feel INCREDIBLY bloated and gassy.	You no longer feel INCREDIBLY gassy. What a relief!	Immensely increases the gas capacity of the subject's digestive tract to near infinite levels.	^[TBA]
Vestigal Ballistics	0	10	10	You feel intense pressure in your hip and shoulder joints.	You joints feel much better!	Allows the subject to expel one of their limbs with considerable force.	Lets you launch a random arm or leg of yours at someone, dealing a fair chunk of brute damage. This hurts you a bit if it's not Synchronized, and it does more damage if it's Empowered. Explosions also have a higher chance to delimb you. The Discount Superhero Spooktober job randomly gets a "weaponized" variant that also makes the limbs knock the target down and stun them for a fair amount of time; if this happens, they also get regeneration to complement it.

Forces the language center of the subject's brain to construct sentences in the manner of a highlander.	You speak with a Scottish accent. You do weird things with vowels, and, unlike other accents, you use entirely different words for things. You call a butt a "dowp", a jumpsuit a "carsakie", things like that.
Frontal Gyrus Alteration Type-FI	0	10	100	Sauna and birch beatings! Hyvä!	The lure of the sauna subsides...	Forces the language center of the subject's brain to construct sentences in a manner not conclusively proven to exist by scientists.	You speak like the space Finns, the sauna-loving, people-hating neighbors of Sweden. You double up on your i's and r's, pronounce g-vowel pairs at the beginning of words as k-vowel, chop w's into v's, have a peculiar inability to say h's, say sh as ch, and switch up your b's with p's and vice versa.

Frontal Gyrus Alteration Type-Q	0	10	100	You feel like your province is a nation, however that works.	The feeling of Independence passes.	Forces the language center of the subject's brain to construct rude and vaguely-canadian sentences.	You speak the accent of the space separatist Space Quebeckers of Space Canada. You say "le" instead of "the", contract h's at the beginning of words, and pepper your sentences with curious profanity. In addition to the stereotypical "th"->"z", you also have: ts->zes st->ss ch->sh tion->sion vowel-t at end of word->vowel-tte vowels at the beginning of a word->h-vowel f at beginning or end of word->ef
Frontal Gyrus Alteration Type-R	0	10	100	.sdrawkcab tib a leef uoY	You feel the right way around.	Causes the language center of the brain to process speech in reverse.	You talk backwards. Pro-tip: Put your ; or :prefix at the end to talk over the radio.

In short, lots of lots of R's. Like Scots, you also have a different vocabulary, which mechanics-wise means you replace some words with different ones. For example, instead of AI, you say "rehrhai". Werewolves have this when transformed.

You chop off the "g" in "ng", drop the "h" from beginnning of words, transform "ight" to "eet", and a bunch more: ay->ey ade->ed ave->ev ea->eea d, t, f & th at end of word->sometimes contracted to ' i->ah when alone or an e comes two letters later it at the start of a sentence->'t ou/ow->ah oar->ooar oa->oi oot & ool->ooit & ooil ole->oil ough->ow In short, you might not think it's English, but it is.

Achromia	0	10	99	N/A	N/A	The subject loses most of their skin pigmentation, with the remainder causing their skin take on a gray coloration.	Your skin becomes completely grayscale.
Apidae Metabolism	0	10	99	You feel buzzed!	You lose your buzz.	Human worker clone batch #92 may contain inactive space bee DNA.	Doesn't seem to do anything at first. However, if sugar is put into the bloodstream through any means, it has...interesting effects.
Apocrine Enhancement	0	10	99	You feel sweaty.	You feel much more hygenic.	Increases the amount of natural body substances produced from the subject's apocrine glands.	You get a serious case of the stinks, causing people nearby to get wonderful messages about how nice the room smells.

Chemical Production Modification	0	Unreclaimable	1	You begin to sense an odd chemical taste in your mouth.	The chemical taste in your mouth fades.	This mutation somehow irreversibly alters the subject's body to function as an organic chemical factory, mass producing large quantities of seemingly random chemicals. The mechanism for this modification is currently unknown to medical and genetic science.	^[TBA]
Chronal Additive Inversement	-10	10	66	You feel as if you're impossibly young.	You feel like you're your own age again.	Causes the subject's age to become its additive inverse...somehow.	Flips the sign of your age, essentially making it negative if it was positive or positive if it was somehow negative, e.g. 30 becomes -30. (In fact, "additive inversement" is just a fancy way of saying sign change). If removed, flips it again, hopefully setting you back to normal. This causes some...interesting effects on the pitch of your voice clips.
Cranial Keratin Formation	0	10	99	A pair of horns erupt from your head.	Your horns crumble away into nothing.	Enables the growth of a compacted keratin formation on the subject's head.	You look (more) like a doofus.

More specifically, the games cuts off a couple of rows of pixels in your sprite's leg area, so you should mostly look alright. This can combine with Body Type Mutations, so you have dwarf monkeys, dwarf lizards, etc. You also get an extra 10% heat and cold resistance. Miners have a 20% chance of spawning with this mutation, because according to Tolkien, dwarves love to mine.
Ethanol Production	0	10	99	You feel drunk!	You feel sober.	Encourages growth of ethanol-producing symbiotic fungus in the subject's body.	You constantly produce ethanol in your bloodstream, slowly making you extremely drunk.
