Polamedes withdraws some small nanobots from inside his body and lets them crawl to the end of his finger and into his eye. They pull his eyelids apart and crawl under and over his eye physically pushing it out of the way and dislodging it slightly as they do, taking measurements while doing so. After a few seconds they start forcing the eye out of the socket. They haul a still connected eyeball to the location of placement spooling out more and more retina wire as the eye is stretched away. Then the eye is sliced and pressed into position while the retinal connection is severed and coiled around the split eye to form a sort of antenna. The trailing retina cable is slowly reeled back into the eye socket before needing to be manually repositioned by placing the finger back into the empty hole and re-growing the eye with more nanomachines. Slowly pulling thin strands from the body and gluing the burgeoning eye back into place.

Simon takes his journal and pen and begins to write out his interpretation of how the injury had occurred. As he begins to revise and rewrite the scene in a way that minimizes the damage of the injury a dark, viscous ink begins to drip from his journal, slowly forming into the words of his revised retelling. The inked words slowly make their way and wrap around the injury before completely obscuring it from view. When Simon is satisfied with his work he closes his journal and all the ink evaporates - revealing the damage had been healed.
If the person he is trying to heal is conscious, there would be an open discussion between the two detailing things like the scenery, any apparent emotions they may have had, what exactly cause the injury, etc. The ink itself is somewhat cold and numbing to the touch causing whatever damage currently being healed to slowly lose feeling. The inked words themselves look exactly like his own penned scrawl and move slowly requiring him and his target to stay close with minimal movement.
Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use Journal and Pen to activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Occult 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.

“This deity is a vain being. It seems to like me, which is why it helps me but it really seems to be a rather vain creature. Is it even a deity, it might be a demon. If this is god I must be his favourite.

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”.

The mad scientist produces thorium cores that can be used to upgrade tools and other devices. The core supercharges the item, increasing its quality and rendering it indestructible for a period.
