Magical gene / fields and regions

Emitola

The whole underside taken in black - chest, belly, and all four legs to the hoof - its upper edge broken into flames, with bright speckling worked all through the flame work and the forelock to match.

How each one is actually drawn - region by region, and the layers it is built from - is on the coding tab.

Finding one

About 1 in 1,250 wild horses is born showing this. That is the whole of the supply: catch one, or make one with the carrot below. Breeds set their own pools and a breed built around this gene will carry it far more often than the wild population does.

Wild pair	Shows as	How often
`Emi/Emi`	Emitola	0.004% — 1 in 25,000
`Emi/n`	Emitola	0.076% — 1 in 1,316
`n/n`	Wild type	99.92%

The file

common/src/main/resources/horsegenetics/genes/emitola.json — a data-driven gene, not a Java class. It is listed in the index.json beside it and registered by Genes' class initialiser at startup.

Key	`horsegenetics.emitola`
Phase	magical — it adds signed colour in phase 3, after the pigment has resolved
Priority	264 — where it sits in the one `(priority, key)` paint order
Alleles	`Emi` · `n`
Varies per horse	3 values drawn once off the expressing allele copy, so a foal that inherits the copy inherits the look

What it paints

Each outcome, described the way the gene file describes it, and then the layers that draw it in the order they are painted. The prose is the part a reader checks a bake against; the list underneath is what the engine actually did.

Emitola

Black across the chest, belly and between the legs, extensive and intricate, reaching up the flanks and taking all four legs whole - hoof to stifle, with no break anywhere along the underline and none up a limb either. Its upper boundary is not a line but a row of flames - sharp, jagged, energetic - and the flame work is picked out throughout in one bright speckling colour, which also takes the forelock and the hooves. It goes over white markings rather than under, and the mane is left solid with no striping.

black across the underside — AXIS × STROKES × AXIS, painted with TOWARD
the legs, black the whole way down — PARTS, painted with TOWARD
speckling worked through the flames — SPECKLE × STROKES × AXIS, painted with TOWARD
speckling worked through the flames on the legs — SPECKLE, painted with TOWARD
the forelock and the hooves — AXIS × AXIS, painted with TOWARD
