Could a Vampire turn a Mage into a Lawn Chair? If so, how?

We all know the infamous Vampire Lawn Chair. It’s the contentious symbol of the gap between an accursed leech and a willworking human, and the themes the two game lines have. (So controversial that several nerfs were added, as well as several that just didn’t make sense). No matter how strong you are, unless you’re an Antediluvian with the power of Author Glaze, nobody can resist 37 successes of Become Chair.

However, that’s not what I’m here to ask. Quite the opposite, in fact. I want to know if there’s a way for the reverse to happen as a symbol that hard work can overcome the curse’s crippling effect. You know - something to keep an arrogant mage on their toes and to remind them that Kine are still susceptible to Vampire stuff.

I’m not talking about Vicissitude 3. I mean a real deal lawn chair.

Seriously stop saying “vicissitude”. Chair shaped people still need to eat and have blood flows and shit. I want a real lawn chair, not some “we have lawn chair at home” variant.

So from all pre-WoD5 material, is there a way a 4th gen or higher blood sorcerer could turn a human into a lawn chair? Any other inanimate object works, of course - turning someone into stone and then shaping that stone into a lawn chair works.

Paths, disciplines, rituals - anything short of making new rituals/disciplines or Plot Devices is fair game. (Plot devices are unable to harm others, according to the rules).

It’s a two way street, after all. And since the chronicle I’m running often has mages in the background, I think it’s thematic.
