FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it the same as the Character Builder: Muse app?

Yes. The skill sends the Character Builder: Muse app’s own prompt with the same models and defaults, so your agent gets the app’s results from a chat, and can run it on many images in one go.

What are the face presets?

Ready-made face changes from the Muse app, such as Mature, Freckled, Rough, and Doll. You can also describe any change in your own words.

Can I try several presets at once?

Yes. The skill runs one take per preset from the same image, quotes the total, and waits for your yes.

Can I attach my photo to the chat?

Mage can’t read files attached to a chat, so share a direct link to the image instead, such as your store’s product image URL. Agents that run commands, like Claude Code and Cursor, can upload a file from your computer.

How much does it cost?

The skill is free and open source. Each generation it starts is paid in Gems from your Mage account at the model’s listed price, and your assistant quotes the total before it creates anything.
