A '''transmute''' is an individual entity possessing the ability to alter an item's (or person's) state by either physical contact or mental means.

Transmutes are a common trait of humanoids in the 25th century, and are attributed to changes in the subject's environment, including radioactive fall-out {{BR25|The Plot to Kill a City, Part I}}.

Each transmute has their own ability that relies specifically on changing an item from one state or another, including their own person. Each power has an Achilles' Heel that can be detrimental to the transmute themselves.

As with any other "normal" ability, transmutational ability is neither good nor bad, and its use is subject to the whims of those who wield the power.

=== The Kiss of Death ===

While not explicitly noted as a transmute, [[Kaleel]] is the first entity {{buck}} encounters with the ability to alter an individual's life by touch, referring to such action as either the "{{inlineref|Touch of Truth}}" or the "{{inlineref|Kiss of Death}}." As [[Ryma]] discovers, Kaleel can only kill those who fear him, as he is able to transmute the victim's fear into a terminal force {{BR25|Planet of the Slave Girls}}.

Aliens in a humanoid form from [[Vela 5]], [[Velis]] and [[Relcos]], also demonstrate transmutational ability known as {{inlineref|psychokinetic chemistry}} allowing them to convert metallic structures from one type to the other {{BR25|The Golden Man}}.
