	*Persona Healing is not the be all and end all. It does not instantly heal 'wounds' because the healing is more affecting the Persona armoring the person.

	As an example, in Persona 4, individuals who are thrown within the TV Realm are unlikely to remember their experiences. These people were unprepared for the supernatural. Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka however are prepared by witnessing Yu's hand enter into a TV. Their mind receiving 'proof' of the supernatural allows them to enter that world and change. Another example is Zenkichi Hasegawa in Persona 5 Strikers. Zenkichi does not possess the 'Will of Rebellion' at the start of the game, but upon being actively brought into the Meta-Verse by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, his cognition begins the process of changing to accept the presence of the supernatural within their lives.

			It should be stressed that even for normal individuals accustomed to the supernatural, that they remain in a special sort of danger. Persona healing abilities, and 'enhancement' spells cast upon them simply fail to function entirely. That is because these spells affect the Persona themselves that is 'armoring' the person, more than the person themselves. The same is not true however for Ailments, or simply direct damage spells. People are extremely fragile to these, and the reason why these work but healing and enhancement don't is unclear.

			Persona Users must take a very direct hand in protecting these people, if they desire them to survive.

			===The Potential: Transmutation===

			Everyone wishes there was something different about themselves. It's a fact of life: the person truly at peace with every aspect of themselves is rarer than any precious gemstone. But usually, this wish remains as it is, a small accumulation of regrets itching at the back of your subconscious, occasionally rising to the surface. It's rarer still that someone acts on these desires.

			But what about those who do?

			'''Transmutation''' is a type of potential that is seeded within these individuals, the people dissatisfied with their lot in life with the will to make that profound change in themselves. Whether you want to free yourself from obligations, whether you you are profoundly unhappy with the person you've become, whether you believe there is something vital missing from your life -- the person who acknowledges those things and takes the steps towards becoming the complete individual they are in their heart can harness that drive to achieve Transmutation and awaken to their Persona.

			The circumstances don't need to be so black and white, of course -- even someone who has ''already'' undergone profound change in their life - willingly or not - and is trying to come to terms with that fact can hold the potential.

			Transmutation, ultimately, is all about the process of becoming the person we want to be, no matter how radical a shift that might be.

			A Transmutation comes with a number of radical aesthetic changes reflective of the person, their history and their personality; not just clothes, but these changes can even include physical changes such as changes to one's skin, hair and eye colors, or even more extreme and unexpected additions, emphasizing the transformative nature of the Awakening.

			Personas awakened through Transmutation usually reflect themes of transformation; other common themes for these Personas include gothic horror, or alchemy (especially of a Jungian skew).

	However, there are those who can see Persona and their effects without being a Persona User themselves. These rare souls are those who've been exposed enough to the supernatural, or are somehow already primed. For example, Shiori Miyashiro played the Persona game with her brother and met Philemon, but despite refusing a Persona, she is able to see the blurry manifestations of two Persona users fighting in front of her. People like Chizuru Ishigami often have spiritual backgrounds on top of being involved in spiritual matters themselves. It all depends on the narrative of your character; while no one can see a Persona outside of a supernatural space due to Personas not being able to be summoned in the first place, what a normal person can see or not see may be up to things as pernicious as fate.

			Normal individuals who have been briefed on the existence of supernatural spaces or Personas in general are more 'prepared'. This does not imply that they have the potential, or even a 'pseudo-potential' but that they are more likely to perceive and remember the supernatural. Soldiers of the New World Order, as well as law enforcement upon their payroll are quite likely to be briefed on these concepts.

			Witnessing 'proof' of the supernatural is often the first step to your cognition shifting to being a normal person that can interact with the supernatural. This is not always a good thing, as it only offers bare minimum protection to the effects of the supernatural. Despite that shift, these people are still quite likely to transmogrify into coffins during the Dark Hour without a maintained 'Pseudo-Potential' at the very least.

			As an example, in Persona 4, individuals who are thrown within the TV Realm are unlikely to remember their experiences. These people were unprepared for the supernatural. Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka however are prepared by witnessing Yu's hand enter into a TV. Their mind receiving 'proof' of the supernatural allows them to enter that world and change.
