According to the Spy Master, the Founders of Gallifrey wanted a "noble creation myth", and so did not tell the story as it really happened, intentionally leaving out the true details. ( AUDIO: Day of the Master) However, some accounts saw an origin for regeneration from outside of Gallifrey. ( PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus, Lungbarrow, AUDIO: Zagreus) Indeed, by the time of Rassilon's ill-fated intervention on Kolstan, Artron, his contemporary, knew that Rassilon had "experimented" with a limited sort of regeneration. Some accounts involved the intervention or discoveries of Rassilon. 4.1.5.1 Do you remember the first time?ĭifferent explanations were given for the origins of regeneration.1.10 Difficult or unusual regenerations.1.6 Transference of regenerative energy. ![]() Regeneration was described by the scientist Davros as "the ancient magic of the Time Lords", ( TV: The Witch's Familiar) and was also described as " witchcraft" by the Sycorax.

( TV: Last of the Time Lords) However, a Time Lord could delay the actual change in appearance and enter "a state of grace" for a brief period of time. ( TV: The War Games, The Power of the Doctor, COMIC: The Night Walkers)Ĭonversely, regeneration could be prevented by choice, although choosing not to regenerate from fatal damage was essentially an act of suicide. ( TV: Logopolis, Time and the Rani, Doctor Who, Utopia, Let's Kill Hitler, Hell Bent, The Doctor Falls, Twice Upon a Time, The Timeless Children, The Power of the Doctor, PROSE: Interference - Book Two) It could also be invoked by choice, whether voluntary ( TV: Destiny of the Daleks, The Twin Dilemma, The Night of the Doctor, Nightmare in Silver) or involuntary.

Regeneration was the process of "molecular readjustment" ( PROSE: Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks) by which Time Lords and others renewed themselves, causing a complete physical and often psychological change.
