Zekografts (Ze koh gra fts)

Discovery

Zekografts were discovered by the Variant Society of Zekosh. To acquire one of these zekografts starts with putting creatures into a suspended state of animation and pain nullification. This is to harvest a living graft and body modification used in Zeko Magic mutations.   Zekografts have been discovered to alter one's physical adaptations and allow creatures access to a wide range of new and valuable adaptations. For example, one could make a Zekograft of Saytr's horns and place them on another creature to have more horns or another defense. Furthermore, the creature that had a Zekograft taken from them doesn't die. Instead, they survive this process, and body parts of what was taken will grow back.   The first one to ever undergo a Zekograft was Lenord Gaff Zekkin. From here, they learned how to improve more on the science of immortality but ended up creating a new form of magic called Zeko Magic.  

Everyday Uses

The most notable use of Zekografts is to give body modifications to adventurers or those seeking a new adaptation. Some that want these want to undergo a new life stage and reform their image. These body modifications are a bit more intense than tattoos and piercings as they also alter one's genetic makeup.  

Cultural Significance and Usage

The Zekoshi find it entirely acceptable to undergo body modifications. The more adaptations one has, the more attractive they are. Some body modifications can be way out of the box. Still, many Examiners will have a test creature to display an array of alterations before fully committing to the Zekograft.  

Hazards

To undergo a proper Zekograft, one must endure their body to one or more of the vapors found in the Harvesters Paradise. Even though these commercialized vapors are safer than when seen in the wild, they could still cause death or other adverse penalties if they weren't appropriately synthesized.  

Environmental Impact

The impact of the discovery and implementation of Zekografts was extraordinarily devastating and rewarding to the local flora and fauna of the Harvesters Paradise. Almost all flora or fauna have undergone some mutation by this time. Be careful when traveling to Zekosh.

Reusability & Recycling

Zekografts can be removed and replaced with different ones. However, the genetic makeup is altered permanently even if a zekograft is removed. Even though some Zekografts are reusable, not all can be recycled. Some of these Zekografts could have heavily intertwined themselves into the essential organs for survival and could cause permanent impairments.
