Fleshcraft is when you will flesh to obey your wishes. If you concentrate, you can change the texture of your flesh, all the way from glass smooth to horny roughness to fishy scales. You can sprout hair and grow claws but here's the catch- you have to use the material already in your body. You can get tall and thin or short and squat.
You can't just grow unless you gather more flesh.
Healing a cut is a simple matter of fusing split flesh but repairing lost limbs or digits requires growth of new bones, replenishing blood, and production of more flesh. If you touch another flesh covered creature (a rabbit perhaps) you can begin absorbing it, fur and all, and incorporate it. You can make a furry hand out of a rabbit, or add its eyes to your skull.
Its easier to take an eye than make an eye. or any organ, especially a brain. Increasing your brain size can be very time and energy consuming and it can be unpredictable. Madness and cognitive overload can occur.
Touching a living creature intending to bond and dominate allows a contest of wills. If they choose not to resist. or if there is a tie, both can shape the shared flesh. If a number of Fleshwarping cultists join, you could have a large thing with lots of faces and limbs like a nightmare centipede.
You can also wrap flesh over inorganic parts such as swords, chainsaws, or electric toothbrushes. You could have such objects terminating from a hand ala Captain Hook or jutting out like porcupine quills. (Toothbrushes all buzzing)
Shaping inanimate objects is another discipline. Metalworkers could cloak themselves in metal, sharpening or twisting it with just a touch. You could have woodworkers who also commune with nature, cause flowers to sprout, and mushrooms to obey.
