Coren I mean forms unaffect by hostile djed. The wiki has a plant that lives by consuming it's prey's djed. Dourdem Root, does so safely through diffusion. Theoretically if you mimicked that process and brought in leeching you'd avoid being poisoned. Though it could very well be the most gruesomely slow process, slow enough to be unfit for combat entirely.

And anchor we were talking about using morphing to improve quality of life. Getting your looks back, walking unaided, capable of working etc. Not for healing.

A plant is a lot differen't then a human or another animal. I highly doubt that process can be replicated through morphing, and if it can it is a supreme transformation, which requires master level. Also it would require at the least a lot of IC research into the plant and how it actually manages to convert the djed into something that doesn't harm the plant since it surely isn't leeching what the plant does. Its more like its eating it then leeching.

and like I told you shesha, thats impossible. your body and soul is damaged thanks to you shoving toxic djed into your body. Warp your body all you wish, it stays sickly and fragile. Fixing sickness and being able to walk again unaided is something we stick underneath the category of healing.

In general, improving quality of life is classified as healing. You'll probably need someone higher up the chain to give you final confirmation in all instances, but I don't think morphing can substitute healing in any way - that's not what it was made for. Prettying yourself up is something you can do as a morpher, since it's just changing the shape of your face and various features. Innate abilities like the Isur's skin can be replicated at higher levels for use. However, if you lose your legs then that counts as an injury and they can't be grown back with morphing.

I don't know enough about leeching to weigh in there, though speaking from general experience the drawbacks to each school of magic are there for a reason. Overgiving in the personal magic schools for example can be delayed and lessened, but they still exist as a very real risk for those who practice it. Likewise for leeching, even if there is a way to lessen the negative effects I highly doubt that they can be completely removed. Perhaps the higher storytellers will allow something like that, but to do so would take a lot of effort and require probably an entire personal quest of sorts around the discovery of the practice.

Judging by the tone I hope I didn't bother anyone... I simply live in possibilities.

"Wounded tissue is much harder to morph and as such, it is extremely difficult to use morphing for self healing purposes. Most often, wounds carry over in transformations"

Taken from the morphing article.

You may be able to transform into a stronger, more agile creature, but your djed damage will follow. Only masters might be able to strain past this limitation, and only at great cost or risk to themselves.

Hope that helped :/

This PC has the Blight gnosis. As such, you as a player need to be aware of what that consists of. Wrenmae has an invisible aura that amplifies sickness and disease. Wounds may become infected, small sneezes may become coughing, and a slight fever may become more serious. A nuit's body will also break down faster in the presence of the Blight. These effects may not be immediate, but within the few days following your encounter, the symptoms will manifest. Some sooner than others. I cannot control your character, so creativity will be left up to you. Best wishes and stay healthy!

Possibilities are fine, and the Founders are open-minded about people wanting to change things, just be prepared to work your butt off to get it done. :)
