As my agent is a cat. When we were in the HP universe, the disgues altered his apearence but he still had his tail. (that was interesting...)

Question about Disguise Generators by

The wiki's rather vague on this, so I thought I'd ask here: do disguise generators simply project the disguise like a hologram over the Agent, or do they actually alter the Agent's physiology?
I ask because, if the latter, I plan to make a plot point of it (about Chliever being unable to enter the Reality Room in human form due to all the diseases; being unable to do so causes him to miss something important).
If it's the former, I need to find a new plot point. -
I tend to go for the latter by

I figure that the utterly insane PPC tech can help reconcile it: the ones who go for hologram just have a different DORKS model or some such.

The favorite example being the time that Jay and Acacia were Ents, got shot with arrows, and didn't mind (until they dropped the disguises). A similar thing happened when they were dragons and someone ate a Sue and regretted it after the disguises were dropped. However, it's not a complete change, as the agent's mind is mostly untouched by the disguise. Also, as seen above, I don't think you could use a disguise to repair an injury. Cover it up, yes; fix it, no.
I've described the disguise as an overlapping morphic field, but that's just my Discworld-influenced take on it. I'd wait for other input.
Did I start a Reality Room As Plot Device trend? {= p
