Genemodding
Genes are notoriously easy to modify. The human body alters its genes randomly during cell division, approx 100 mutations per cell over a cell's typical lifetime. Sexual reproduction involves combining genetics from all parents, and even that results in ~70 unique alterations found in neither parent. What makes "Genemodding" tricky is changing a large enough area at once in order to effect visible change. That is, if you want blue skin, you need all of your skin to know it should be blue now.

The Self-Actualization Device is, despite the mocking tone of the ignorant, mostly a microwave. The SAD combines the fields of Resonance research, Genemodding, and Microwaves to analyze the Resonance presently in the body, formulate the ideal body to best host the Resonance, identify and kill what parts of the body oppose that ideal, and facilitate the growth of replacements that don't. The chance that your Resonance may reflect an angry burning skeleton is low, but never zero.
The Self-Actualization Device is but one of many crowning acheivements of the Saturn-born Idealist Movements.
