Some accounts suggested that regeneration was a natural process found on Gallifrey. One of these accounts, which the [[Eleventh Doctor]] explained to [[Vastra]], stated that exposure over billions of years to the [[Untempered Schism]] contributed to the Time Lords' ability to regenerate. This was also what allowed for [[River Song]]'s regenerative abilities, as [[Melody Pond|she]] was conceived in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] whilst it traversed the [[Time Vortex]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)}} | Some accounts suggested that regeneration was a natural process found on Gallifrey.

Another account found in historian [[Postar|Postar the Perfidious]]'s [[Scrolls of Gallifrey]] stated that [[Rassilon]] was the first Time Lord to gain regeneration as an unintended side-effect of his work with the [[Eye of Harmony]]. Due to the elemental forces which he had been exposed to as he worked on stabilising the Eye, his original body died and underwent the first ever regeneration. Rassilon gained a set of twelve regenerations as a result, and upon reshaping Time Lord society to his designs, Rassilon then gave a select number of Gallifreyan aristocrats the privilege of gazing upon the Eye unveiled, thus granting each of them twelve regenerations as well. [[Morbius]] would later partially base his campaign for the Presidency on the promise of extending the same generosity to all [[Gallifreyan]]s.
