David channels the Gorgon’s blood through his fingertips once more, and pushes it into his target via skin-to-skin contact (typically placing his palm on the affected area and pushing down like CPR). Pushed this way, the blood is ravenous, and will eagerly consume any ailment in the target’s system…eating the target a bit from the inside as well. After pushing on his own blood like that, David is a bit paler himself.
If targeting himself, David instead pushes the illness out from within his own veins, exsanguinating himself a bit in the process.
In ancient legends, it is said the demigod Asclepius used the Gorgon’s blood to heal the sick, cure the blind, and even to raise the dead. As David has Gorgonblood swimming through his own veins, he’s learned how to push it to “heal the sick”.

Upon activation of the Shadow Form, a profound transformation takes place. The individual's physical appearance undergoes a dark metamorphosis, as if being submerged in an otherworldly abyss. Their silhouette becomes ethereal, shrouded in an inky, black mist that seems to pulsate with an inner energy. This transformative state lasts for a duration of 30 minutes. The individual's physical strength is visibly enhanced, with a subtle but noticeable increase in muscular definition. Large, black scars radiate smoky tendrils on their back, a visual testament to the power's influence. These scars serve as a permanent mark, even in their normal state. The individual's attire transforms into something reminiscent of gothic, Bloodborne-inspired clothing. Two imposing, large black smoky great swords protrude from their body, emerging from the scars. The scars replace traditional scabbards, adding an ominous and formidable aspect to their appearance.
In the hidden tapestry of mystical destinies, Oswald stands as a guardian against the shadows that lurk within the folds of deceit.
