Materialize Physical Objects, is it possible? Options

Well... I was reading about materialize physical objects. Some mages can make that and other 'miracles'

So I wonder.. ¿Is it possible make that?

^What you're describing is called a tulpa, IIRC.

As for materialising solid objects, I've heard of it happening. Hell, there have been legends about it since the dawn of time. I've never actually seen anyone ever do it though. I suppose it has too much in common with stage magic.

As for teleportation which may LOOK like physical materialisation but really isn't: The laws of quantum physics say it's definitely possible, but we don't understand how to do this yet. The most that's ever been teleported is a beam of light across a lab. Whether or if more substantive things can be teleported, we simply don't know. We should learn how to teleport an empty cardboard box before we learn how to teleport life, if we ever can.

There are some accounts of it in parapsychological literature, Dark. It isn't the most common form of paranormal phenomena, by any means, but there are some cases on the books.

From what little I read, it was most prevalent among some of the earlier Christian mystics, which makes sense. Bilocation was another similar thing, too; a person being in two places at once.

Physical manifestation of objects is also one of the siddhis, or abilities which develop as enlightenment "symptoms," within Hinduism and/or Buddhism. It's supposedly reasonably common in India, I believe...but I haven't read about any Western cases, myself. Teleportation is probably one of the siddhis, as well, since I'm pretty sure flight also is. None of these abilities are things which a newcomer to the respective religion(s) is supposed to be able to do, though; in Chaos terms it would translate to a lot of power.
