First use	DND-001, Transmutation (S607): ge-ki ne wi-ra-su lo-ge

Composition

ge (quality/property) + ki (change/transformation). Direct: property-change. No intermediate root needed — transmutation is the unmediated alteration of what a thing IS.

Notes

W187. First attested DND-001 (S607). The only 2-root school compound — all others are 3-root. This captures the structural simplicity and directness of transmutation as a magical category. lo-ge patient in S607 = "quality/property itself" = the fundamental properties of things. Parallel with ge-se-ki (W185, illusion): both are ge-X compounds — illusion changes how qualities APPEAR; transmutation changes what qualities ARE.
