Confusion concerning Corruption, Biological Manip, and Transmutation

[YungManzi]

So, as of now, I've noticed that for specific feats of things like turning people into vampires, ghouls, monsters, and zombies. We have no standards. So a bunch of pages just randomly list the exact same power as something else.

So for these feats; is turning someone into a one of these monsters transmutation, Corruption, or biological manipulation?

I would say either Corruption or Biological Manip, depending on the method.

Only transmutation if vampires/zombies are treated as completely separate beings (in all aspects), otherwise it is Corruption or Biological manip depending on how it is done.

 

[YungManzi]

So what circumstances differentiates Bio manip from corruption? Specifically.

 

[Armorchompy]

It depends. If it's done through a virus or a bacteria (like a lot of zombie media) it's gonna be bio or disease manip, if it's just magic then corruption or transmutation depending on the specifics, with corruption being the default one for me. If it's a virus with explicitly magic effects, then both.
