	Science is broadly divided in to two discplines, alchemy and biology. Physical sciences and engineering are comparatively underdeveloped. Dr Frankenstein would be at home here, but steampunk engineers not so much. The science aesthetic in Obscura can be described as "Leonardo da Vinci meets Dr Frankenstein", or "better living through absurd biochemistry".

	[[Elemental Touch]] is an extremely new phenomenon that’s only been sighted recently, and is currently extremely rare. Humans have been seen that are touched by the elements, changing their appearance and behaviour, and occasionally giving them unusual abilities.		It's possible for advanced surgeons to graft elemental material in to the human body, deliberately causing the person to become [[Elemental Touch\|elementally touched]]. This will likely take quite a bit of elemental material for all but the simplest grafts, and so far such material has only been found in small amounts at random, limiting the progress made in this field so far.

	Those skilled in Advanced Grafting may be able to come up with personal, experimental grafts based on elemental material or even surgical implantation of alchemical substances. These could be much more powerful, but will likely require regular infusions of material to continue to function, or have other drawbacks.
