Balance the Humors "You're so wound up! Do you even have a humor to balance?"

1
The power to cure diseases and poisons.
Used by Egas Freeman, Created by ShadyTradesman.
(You are obviously treating your target for the entire cast time. )

Dr. Freeman engages in an invasive regimen of humor-balancing. Sometimes this means forcing his patient to consume vile mixtures of herbs and minerals, other times, using drugs to induce violent fits of vomiting. No matter the rest of the treatment, he always performs bloodletting, opening a vein to drain a significant amount of blood. The fluids drained this way are streaked with sickening tracks of diseased green and yellow bile.

As awful and disgusting as the procedure is, one cannot argue with the results. The treated patient stumbles away cleansed of any diagnosed diseases, poisons, and venoms.
