Interview #1160: Shadows of Self-Oak Brook, IL, Entry #10

Question

For Soulforging, if you rewrite the history of an item, and it took effect permanently, would there ever be a potential to have a butterfly effect, out beyond the history of the item, that might directly affect something somewhere else in the world?

It would be very very hard for that to ever happen, because it’s like spliced DNA or something like that. It’s not real. It’s a Forgery. Nothing else considers it, that it did that. [That sentence is slightly unclear. Don’t quote it.]. The only tricky bit would be if you have children, and you’ve rewritten yourself in an interesting way that’s actually changed your DNA, that… might have ramifications.
