You place a ward, which is fixed to a target Object that can be moved and repositioned. You can perceive with all your senses or activate investigative Effects through the ward as though you were standing at its location. This Artifact may have at most 3 wards active at once.
The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. It can be detected with a roll and destroyed through mundane means.
You may activate another Effect through one of your Wards as if you were standing at its location. The Ward is destroyed afterward.
Your Ward records all activity it observes, regardless of whether or not you are actively monitoring it. This recording can be played back and referenced later.
You may communicate through your ward, though doing so will reveal its presence.
Jei's soul burns intensely as it exudes a malicious aura to his patient and punches the evil traumas out of the patient.
Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. You cannot target yourself. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect.

Ulysses slashes the targets body part with his Cockatrice Talons, and the affected body part quickly turns to stone.

You may affect up to 3 targets within range.

Overturning the empty pill bottle, a single red pill falls out. Usually, this is a potent healing anomaly which can cure almost any injuries sustained by the ingester. Sometimes, it is a faulty copy, which causes sore growths around the space that was meant to be healed.
Expend a point of Battery and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you give the target a faulty pill - it causes a cancerous growth around the wound, which creates a Soft Spot battle scar. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

Your command cannot be obviously self-destructive. The Effect ends if following your command would cause a target to cross one of their Limits in a way that would necessitate a Trauma roll.

The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases.
