The biomancer is engaged in the redesign of living organisms by means that may overlap superficially with the tradition of real-world science but that are ultimately and fundamentally alien to it. Fleshcrafting by magical or psionic means are obvious instances of biomancy. Fleshcrafting through the use of real-world science, such as breeding or genetic engineering, is bio-engineering, not biomancy. Fleshcrafting through the use of real-world science that stretches or exceeds the limits of that science with the assistance of the Dark Powers is likewise bio-engineering, not biomancy. Frantisek Markov and Victor Mordenheim are creatures of the tradition of real-world science and are bio-engineers, not biomancers. The Illithid of Bluetspur are the premier biomancers of the Land of Mists. Their creations include the Shattered Brethren, the Illithid Vampire, Thrall Clasp, and Marcu Vasilis. Lyssa von Zarovich contributed, presumably as a necrologist, to the Illithid Vampire and so most probably has acquired at least some expertise as a biomancer. Yagno Petrovna is one of the most prolific biomancers, although it is doubtful that he recognises himself as such and it is probable that his narrowly focused work, steeped in theology, and of which he alone is capable, has contributed little to the field of biomancy, aside from scores of mongrelmen.
