 When stimulated by a chemical known as Asyentine, the DNA molecule momentarily "unravels" into a double helix and a loose strand. This loose strand then recodes itself and reattaches itself to the double helix, causing momentary instability as a second strand detaches, leaving the two connected strands incompatible while it recodes as well. When it reconnects, however, the third disconnects, leaving the Shapeshifter's form stable enough so that the third strand, when recoded and reattached, repairs any damage caused by the brief instability. This entire process takes a few seconds on average. Shapeshifters are able to control this process to an extent, choosing which form to take, which areas of their bodies are shifted, and how far they go into the chosen form.
-'''Asyentine''' is an anomalous, Mana-based chemical naturally produced by the Shapeshifter. Asyentine's most defining properties are the latent magiological processes encoded in it, which are crucial to the process of shapeshifting. As detailed above, Asyentine magically stimulates the Shapeshifter's DNA to achieve biological restructuring, providing the Shapeshifter the aetheric energy required to bypass conservation of mass and similar physical obstacles. Production of Asyentine is mechanically similar to that of Adrenaline, often operating in conjunction, and has been often mistaken to simply be a variant of it. In reality, however, Asyentine is entirely controlled by the Shapeshifter's mental state. Frequently, this is linked to the common "Fight or Flight" response, as well as strong emotional states such as stress, anger or fear. Sufficiently strong simuli in that regard will generate a large dose of Asyentine in a short span of time, resulting in "reflex shifts" and even instinctually-triggered Feral States. This is difficult to control without training.

Like Adrenaline, Asyentine is produced in response to Fight or Flight, and gives the same effects, such as increased strength and reaction capabilities. As detailed above, however, it is also crucial to shifting. The entire process takes energy: Asyentine gives the Shapeshifter the energy required, and is shot into the bloodstream in a short burst to provide it. Longer productions of Asyentine allow the energy to fight. A stressed, angry, or frightened Shapeshifter will produce a large amount of Asyentine in a short time, resulting in reflex shifts and Feral forms. This is difficult to control without training.

 ===Senses and Reflexes===
-A Shapeshifter's senses are nearly unparalleled by any creature native to Euthora; the only exception is the distance vision of most Wyverns and some Firedrakes. They are hypersensitive to all general senses- pressure, pain, temperature- and special senses- sight, hearing, taste, smell, and balance- as well as having a sort of "sixth sense" for danger which merely comes from their heightened survival instincts and reflexes(detailed below). Low-light vision and hearing are especially acute, sight being perhaps 2 or 2.5x the strength of that form, and hearing often being able to detect 85,000 Hz in certain forms (provided said form can't normally hear frequencies so high). However, this also makes them especially vulnerable to attacks that assault the senses, though they have a high tolerance for pain.

However, this also makes them especially vulnerable to attacks that assault the senses, though they have a high tolerance for pain.
 Reflexes, on the other hand, are nearly precognitive. This gives them their aforementioned "sixth sense"; a Shapeshifter will dodge an attack without thinking, and have been known to suddenly leap away without knowing why, only to turn and see a potentially lethal blow sail harmlessly past. This also makes them have a very high combat potential, especially when given bladed weaponry, where the holder's speed, agility, and reflex will aid in close-quarters-combat.
 ==Behavior==
-While all Shapeshifters have the capacity for sapience, it is only through contact with inherently sapient species (such as humans and dragons) that it is developed. Otherwise, Shapeshifters are still highly intelligent predators whose capacity for sapience is put to use to outsmart prey and develop problem-solving abilities. Though predatory by nature, their exact diet varies between individuals(primarily depending on the base form). A deer-hunting Shapeshifter will not necessarily eat fish, and some rare individuals may prefer a grazing lifestyle as a prey animal.

 Shapeshifters are solitary for the most part, and highly territorial among their own species. Should two shapeshifters meet in the wild, they would inevitably battle for dominance unless one were to back down. The fight ends one of three ways: one combatant backing down, dying, or reverting to another form (a built-in defense mechanism and a show of weakness).

This is characterized by a heightened hostility when endangered, their habits of hunting for food rather than accepting human-made food, and their preference of the wild over civilization.

This is characterized by a heightened hostility when endangered, their habits of hunting for food rather than accepting human-made food, and their preference of the wild over civilization.
 Shapeshifters tend to be claustrophobic, due to their wild and free way of life. Shapeshifters who have been confined in too small a space for too long have been known to be more reclusive than is natural, sometimes suffering from anxiety when in a building or anywhere they can't see the sky. They may become manic or even feral. Shapeshifters are very in-tune with nature and are said to be one of nature's balancers.
