Benny is able to turn what would have been a wasted pile of meat into a useful minion. If he has access to a human being who is on the brink of death, he may perform a bloodletting ritual in which he opens the vein on his wrist and forces the victim to drink for roughly 10 seconds.
If the ritual is completed successfully, the soul and mind will die, but the body will remain animate, an unwitting member of a soon-to-be vast criminal empire.
Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend at least two Actions performing the following ritual: slit open your wrist and allow blood to drain into the dying human's mouth for ten seconds to activate. You must actively and obviously use a human body that is in the process of dying to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.

They have dog-level intelligence, but are capable of communicating information back to you. Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 3 dice.
The Power on Nephyis has given me greater control over the shadows I can move about as needed and make the changes that she wishes. I focus on my ring and invoke her power then and only then can I change how I look while she changes me to the person I need to be.

Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your clothes. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
Even when Clyde takes a hit, really puts his mind to things, or a little bit of both, it seems that he isn't bothered by this; no injury will hold him down for good until it is enough to make him into pieces, and no amount of insults and traumas would either.

The doctor heals severe injuries in minutes using only standard medical supplies. Lacerations seal under the needle and thread, and reset bones can be used shortly after.

Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use basic medical supplies to activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 8.
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. You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition.

The target is unaware that they are under supernatural influence and feel they are acting of their own free will. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.

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.

If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life. Unstabilized Injuries do not degrade while you are Incapacitated
