Powers and Techniques

Biological Manipulation (SCP-113 bonds with the cells that it touches and induces an unidentified chemical change. This process causes tissue damage similar to mild burns, and SCP-113 cannot be removed from contact with the subject until all stages are complete. SCP-113 bonds with the cells that it touches and induces an unidentified chemical change which causes tissue damage; Throughout the 3rd stage the subject's cellular makeup is temporarily transformed. Altered cell composition ranges widely from being unidentifiable as human to a unique variation of partially differentiated stem cells. The subject will experience intense stimulation of all sensory nerves during the final 20 seconds of this stage, and describe this part of the process as extremely painful. Subjects in poor health may die of shock in this stage; At the end of this stage, the subject's biological sex is permanently altered. In standard cases, the subject's biological sex will be changed to the opposite biological sex. All primary and secondary sexual characteristics are altered accordingly; SCP-113 exposure results in unusual effects in certain species. In Varanus komodoensis (the komodo dragon), several ZW/ZZ individuals were transformed to possess WW chromosomes instead of ZZ or ZW, which was in every instance fatal. In Caenorhabditis elegans (a nematode), no males were produced despite C. elegans having two sexes (hermaphrodite and male). Male subjects became hermaphrodites, and hermaphrodite subjects were unaffected. (Note: In wild populations, male C. elegans are extremely rare; can cause nausea, vomiting, and a stinging sensation throughout the body, with the third stage causing immense pain, enough to cause individuals to die of shock if they are in poor health)) Heat Manipulation (This process causes tissue damage similar to mild burns, and SCP-113 cannot be removed from contact with the subject until all stages complete), Electromagnetism Manipulation (Lasts approximately 20 seconds. SCP-113 emits a low-intensity electromagnetic wave that travels through the subject's body. Subjects may experience nausea and vomiting, along with a stinging sensation throughout the body)

Other

Weaknesses: SCP-113 does not have the ability to effect someone's gender identity SCP-113 has weird effects on certain species such as Varanus komodoensis where a number of ZW/ZZ individuals were turned into WW possessing individuals rather than ZW or ZZ individuals, which was always fatal; species which are single-sex hermaphrodite will not; SCP-113 becomes inert after use for 60 seconds.
