However, since [[Clones | clones]] have their own random brain brine seed, it is possible to force a desired result by using {{favilink|Precognition}} or a {{favilink|sphynx salt injector}}, [[Cloning_draught#Cloning|generating a clone]], {{favilink|domination|dominating}} it, and then drinking Brain Brine. Once the clone receives the desired roll result, you can [[Domination#Permanent_Domination|permaswap]] with it to gain those selected benefits permanently. | ||
