Not adapting the series, just borrowing a concept from it (and other places) for the elves in my world.

Control Wood seems to be the best option... but where is Vital Manipulation as a modifier?

Again, cannot find this modifier (Transformation only).

That's pretty cool. Excellent resource for what I intend to do.

Still - neat.

It's in the article I referenced.

Excuse me. That's incorrect. That's "Transmutation, Wood, -50%" it's in GURPS Powers.

Can you give me a page reference? Because I'm only finding Transmutation as an enhancement, not a limitation...

Pg. 94, first column, fourth paragraph. The pertinent bit is at the bottom.

Transmutation is the enhancement; Transmutation Only is described at the bottom of the same paragraph, for -100% relative to the cost of whatever Transmutation you can do. [Edit: Ninja'd by Ghostdancer.]
