Biokinesis
This is a gift to the site, at my 700th post mark. A very simple arcane training method I enjoy performing, to keep up in my skills and benefit myself.
Allow me to first say that despite how the title calls this the "basics", it still requires a good deal of knowledge in science and ability in energy manipulation.

What is Biokinesis?
Biokinesis is the science of using arcane energy to change the biology of the target. Usually this is applied to the self, becoming a more potent organism in the physical. The term "Soul Alchemy" is used to describe astral biokinesis, for lack of a better explanation.
Biokinesis can alter just about any aspect of an organism. From the physical output, to the function of the organs, to the hair color, eye color, height, or even bone density. Obviously the changes you can make are dependent on biology. Any aspect of yourself, you can change.
The Mundane
I'll be brief here. Science is your best friend when it comes to biokinesis. Since we aren't trying to damage our body, but improve it, any new scientific advances or knowledge about our anatomy is crucial. Know the biology of what you are working on before trying to change it. You could kill the target, and if that target is us, that is counterproductive.
As near sighted as science can be, the advances it does make will help us considerably here.
Energy in the Body
I'm assuming that if you're reading this, you know about the body and the energy flows within. If not, crawl out of your hole and pick up a PDF.
Energy exists in everything, this is nigh undeniable, from ATP to sunlight energy to metaphysical lifeforce or even blood essence. We'll make lifeforce measurements in gallons. Lifeforce is a renewable resource that takes time to recover to the prime state. A newborn, we'll say, has roughly a gallon of lifeforce inside, powering homeostasis and kicking their brain into action. As the organism grows, so does the lifeforce. An average male human adult has about 300 gallons, let's say. These gallons are emitted from the Soul Reactor and power the organism, they maintain homeostasis, keep the cells running, keep the blood pumping- etc. This is often why, when vampyrized enough, a person can become sick or even die- the lifeforce can't power all of the body's functions at optimum levels, which allows disease in. Some people are born with less lifeforce being created by their Soul Reactor, which turns them to Vampyrism. But that's a topic for another day.
A thing I want to talk about in this section is blood. It's slowly becoming more and more prominent the more I think about it. The circulation of blood is what keeps our energies physically moving. The red blood cells, the platelets, the plasma- all of it, as I meditate on the nature of blood, seems to be more of an untapped source of power than many people make it out to be. Yes, it creates a connection to a spirit, but blood can be used for so much more. Burning the blood in an enemy, for instance. Blood is how things in the body travel. Think of it as an internal highway, the inner asteroid belt. Blood can be used to carry energy and the commands of your will to different parts of your body. Blood is highly overlooked due to the, well, wet nature of the subject. As I investigate the body more and more, blood acts as our Grid.
When will is impressed upon the blood, it will carry the will to the target location and dispense it. That is the nature of biokinesis. Rather than directly alter your body, allow the spell to mature within your blood and become acquainted with your energies before integrating it.
Alterations
But how, you ask? How do you change your body with energy?
Simple. You have to charge your blood. I would start by knowing exactly what you want to change and how to change it physically (what you would do in a surgery, for instance). Gather energy, and shape it so that it will carry out your changes. Then put it in your bloodstream astrally, and let it take effect. However, the changes are temporary. For making permanent changes, read the "Saving Changes" section.
What Can Be Done
I'll just jot a quick list here, but generally anything within the laws of physics and biology:
Increase Height
Increase Bone Density
Change Blood Type (More difficult)
Strengthen Epidermis
Increase Brain Synapses
Increase Neuron Ability
Conserve Stamina
Less Impact of Weather
Sight Distance
Sight Clarity
Sight Speed/Colors
Vein Ability
Artery Thickness
Slight Muscle Increase
Increase Memory Storage
And so on. By "Ability" I mean how well they function, ability seemed to be a better term.
Alchemy and Biokinesis
Do note that I perform all of my alchemical experiments on the astral, I do not know the physical equivalents of the work.
Alchemy and Biokinesis are actually pretty closely intertwined. Biokinesis is actually an energetic form of Alchemy that, unlike Soul Alchemy, is used to change the body. Soul Alchemy, on the other hand, is energetic alchemy used to change the Soul and Astral Body. It is also worth noting Soul Alchemy is pretty much the fastest way to lay on the levels of deities, for those on the LHP.
So, going back to the subject. Alchemically, we know the base function of our bodies is represented through symbols and ideas rather than actual biology. However, unlike a lot of science, alchemy actual is partly enchanted due to the nature of symbols and the knowledge used.
Alchemy is a supplement to Biokinesis, and never the other way around. If this rule is not followed, without proper knowledge forehand, you will take off your own head and be to blame.
So let us take an example of both. First, the correct way. John Doe wants to make his muscles slightly bigger and increase his gains from working out. So biokinetically, he creates a spell that will increase the amount of energy put into his muscles and one that stimulates a growth hormone. After the spell is put into place, he goes into the astral and creates a metaphysical substance that will ease his muscles into this transition and a shot of powerful energy to further their growth. After the spell has been applied, he astrally injects the areas in question- we'll say the biceps- which in turn make the physical muscles less tense and add to the energy growth spell he placed. He works out, three days a week, and this week he notices that his threshold was upped by 20-30 lbs. Normally it would be increased by 5-10.
Now, the incorrect way. John Doe whips up his substance and puts it into his biceps. Same function, but instead of adding energy to the spell that's already placed, he makes the substance stimulate the growth hormone, and the spell add energy and ease the muscles into this transition. Here is what is a bit problematic. Despite both substances being metaphysical, one of them has the intent to be injected into the system, like a pathogen. Even if it is conscious that the substance is not a pathogen, the body generally reacts to an injection that changes the way the astral body works as an infection. It will resist the change, and gobble up the spell- which is subconsciously intended to cause change, not be an act of injection but of actual magic-'s energy and use it to counteract the alchemy. Instead of John Doe's threshold peaking, he gets injured during his workout, and it damages his ability to do so for let's say two weeks. Then he notices the threshold went down by 15-30 lbs.
The point is, even if you mean for one to be something, subconsciously something that is injected and not meant to heal will be treated like a pathogen rather than act of magic.
Or, at least, in my experience. If someone has found the opposite, please inform me. I'm always willing to learn.
Saving Changes
Eventually, spells wear off. It is in their nature. Make no mistake, Biokinesis is magic. It is spells, and spells wear off. So how do we change these temporary fixes into permanent ones?
The answer is actually brilliant. Thoughtforms.
If you're not familiar with the concept, . Uncle Chuckie is wear I got my true start from the Internet. Read up on everything he has regarding thoughtforms (and enjoy it, he's a good writer) and you'll understand the concept. Even if you don't, after his rather extensive and helpful sections on them, you'll get the gist of it. If you don't understand the very basics then feel free to PM me and I'll do what I can to help you out.
Anyway, thoughtforms can be used to keep the charge of the spell. So instead of just casting the spell, put it into the thoughtform, charge the thoughtform and then allow it to feed off the earth/ambient energy. That way, it self maintains. You can cut off your link to it as a power source and it will be entirely self sufficient and then you will be free to ignore it.
It's a rather easy solution, when you think about it.
Plague
Those of you that know me well know that this is the whole reason I posted this tutorial. Can't quell my thirst.
So obviously if you read the start of this tutorial and didn't skip down here like I know some people of like mind will, I mentioned that there are targets with Biokinesis. Not just you. You can apply the concept of changes and keep those changes active with thoughtforms, but use them as weapons.
And oh boy, are they weapons.
Let's take this example. I was thinking about using Biokinesis to incite a plague recently, and then a friend of I were out. So, being a complete asshole, I targeted her (subconsciously, actually, it was more me projecting the thought of the plague) with a massive headache.
She felt a crippling headache all throughout the day, until the end of the day I lifted it (again, a little command that was so small it was nigh of subconscious).
This was a Plague that was unprepared. Can you imagine the implications of one that was created to specifically kill people? Have you heard of "incurable illness"?
Granted the Plague is entirely metaphysical, but when doctors can't detect something wrong with a dying patient, that's a good sign. Not that I've reached that yet, but I am going to be tackling this plague very soon.
The basic idea of a Plague is that it is a biokinetic weapon. Instead of making changes to make someone the king of the jungle, we will cripple them. The Plague is something that incites pain, and can kill those who are weak. It is a malicious thoughtform that sustains itself and eats the target. It can weaken the heart, damage the brain, and raze cells. The brilliant part of a Plague is that it is nigh undetectable by doctors and even some guardians. All it takes is the right mind to turn this power into a deadly weapon.
And it can spread, if programmed to. Granted I've yet to actually test a carefully constructed Plague on a subject, but due to my advances in Biokinesis and my knowledge of the basic human being, and magic in general, there is literally no reason why this should not work. If a simple test of will was able to force such a change, a carefully engineered super Plague? The tests, theories, and knowledge at hand assure me this can cause an epidemic of the metaphysical kind.
Biological Anomaly
Of course, when I meant the laws of physics and biology I meant the ones we know. But what about the ones we don't know? What about the ones that haven't been discovered?
This section is theoretical as I have yet to personally experiment with this, however imagine for a moment being able to, oh, I don't know, sprout tentacles or change the amount of eyes you have, or the amount of brains or how many legs you have? In the astral any shape is possible to assume, and with enough ability in both the astral and Biokinesis in theory one would be able to alter the physical body as easily as one would the astral.
Who knows? This is just some food for thought.
King of the Jungle
So these are basically my closing words. As a Mage/Sorcerer, you already should be the dominant organism in your environment. However, with Biokinesis you become greater than that, something more powerful than just the organisms in your environment but in many. Eventually this will cause clashes with spirits and other Mages- there can't be two kings on the same land after all.
Of course, the ultimate question is why I am revealing this information to you, the masses. Why am I giving out this information? The answer is to secure my own safety, and to empower readers. I'm all about becoming a god in the most bloody/biological way possible, and I like sharing knowledge in the hopes that one day someone will do the same for me. But this is also for my safety. So if someone unleashes a metaphysical plague upon the world at large for shits and giggles, fingers can't be pointed at just me. I don't shit where I eat, after all.
So, I hope this has helped you.
