Only divine beings have the power to do this. So, its not possible for a human to be mutated into a fairy as Faries no longer exist. It is possible for a human to be mutated into another sentient race even its gender can be mutated as well and done instantly but it is never done as there is no need to do that.

They are more malicious and nearly always unfavorable to humans. These faeries are not always evil but they tend to prefer harming rather than helping. Unseelie faeries like to travel in a group at night and assault travelers physically, mentally, and emotionally, especially if they are spiritually ignorant.
