	Long Answer: Mechanically speaking, a form is a flag placed on a player's account, which indicates that you've been fully infected with a set of mutations (we call each set of mutations an 'infection'), and this allows access to the form later on, with Adept and Recursion dedications (more on those later). To be fully infected, you must be mutated by a critter until you have all of your mutation slots matching the slots filled by the infection in it's entry in the Infection system, and then getting one further mutation of the same.

	Short ~~Answer~~: A form is an infection that you've experienced completely, and you gain more by fighting mobs until you get a message that you've mastered a new form.		Short Flavor Text: A form is an infection that you've experienced completely, and you gain more by fighting mobs until you get a message that you've mastered a new form.

			There are two ways to obtain mastery (memory) of a new form.
			* Use [[nisd]] and consume a [[Boss Infection Vial]].
			'''OR'''
			* Become fully mutated (all slots) to 100% of a given form AND THEN (while still in that 100% form) get one more infection dose either by [[nisd]] consuming a vial of the infection OR by being infected once more during interactions.

			Long Answer: Mechanically speaking, a form is a flag placed on a player's account, which indicates that you've been fully infected with a set of mutations (we call each set of mutations an 'infection'), and this allows access to the form later on, with Adept and Recursion dedications (more on those later). To be fully infected, you must be mutated by a critter until you have all of your mutation slots matching the slots filled by the infection in it's entry in the Infection system, and then getting one further mutation of the same ([[nisd]] consume matching vial, one more infection from an NPC while in 100% matching form, OR consume [[Boss Infection Vial]]).

So, you're here hoping for answers to questions about forms and what they can do for you? This

These two dedications allow shifting into mastered forms at any time, at the cost of some energy and mako battery, for Nanite Adept and Recursion respectively. The other use main use for forms is as a way to gain freecred, as each form mastered will give between 1000 and 5000 freecred.
