Homunculus Crafting: Easy Guide
People have asked me "What is a homunculus?" and "How do you make a homunculus?". So allow me to answer both of these questions.
A homunculus is an artificial form of life, created with a purpose/design in mind. Frankenstein's monster would classify as a homunculus, and so would clones and organoids [3].
The classical way of crafting a homunculus would be the Frankenstein way of splicing various compatible organs and body parts together. However, such a method of homunculs crafting is an abomination and should not be practiced if it can be avoided.
The cleaner, more humane methods are currently reserved to the more elite biomancers. Let's face it, you do not have the ability or the funding to clone a human. So if you want to get into homunculus crafting, you should start small.
The easiest, most popular way to get into the field is grafting [4]. It is advised to start with plants before moving on to more complex organisms. In order to understand flesh and bone, one must study the trees and the shrubbery. In order to understand mind and soul, one must study the fungi, mushrooms and molds.
When moving on to crafting your first flesh homunculus, be sure that it does not possess a soul, neither generated, bound nor inherited. Working on an ensouled homunculus is an abomination, and should not be practiced if it can be avoided.
Now you know everything you need to know to get started on homunculus crafting. So get out there and make some creations of your own. May the sands of time fall favorably upon you.
