The igneous rock can either: - Be formed as an intrusive igneous rock underground, and then get subducted (driven down) to a depth where the crystals are modified due to the heat or - form as an extrusive igneous rock above ground, get weathered and transported into the sea and included in the compaction of sediments, and then subducted and altered.
