Edgar bites into flesh or bone, typically devouring the heart, tongue, eyes, & brain in the first sitting. Memories flood the ghoul, causing his eyes to flicker - occasionally, these cast-off memories can be coalesced enough to re-create a fragment of the person's personality - this is an unpleasant fate, as the victim essentially becomes a powerless voice in the mind of the ravenous Ghoul for the duration. Only Edgar can hear this personality fragment, though he can converse with it if desired, effectively talking to himself.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Dead target within arm's reach. Dead targets must have died within the past week, and you must have their remains in your possession. You must use up at least a pound of the target's flesh or bone in order to activate this Effect.

This device now possesses a "Tissue reconstruction" application which will pair with a Bluetooth enabled device and implant a control subroutine while physically dispensing a nanite "goo" onto the target area of the subject. This goo quickly permeates damaged tissues and replicates to replace whatever critical structures are damaged, then begins the slow work of regrowing permanent native tissue in its place. From this point, if communication with the controller is lost before this month-long process completes, the nanites will shut down and lose cohesion, resulting in the failure of the repair. (If this artifact is a Bluetooth enabled device, it may serve the controller function if the user heals their own scar)

I have found that ground beef works best, it is most able to dissolve into the most beautiful creation I have every laid my eyes upon. It must look weird, to the unvitiated, when I unhook my gear, pull out raw meat, and spread it out the wound, like a heathen in the woods practicing witchcraft, but within the first 5 minutes, the meat starts to dissolve, and explodes through their pores as a tar which resembles the void. 10 minutes in, and the flames begin, despite there being no heat, the healed will become engulfed in them, and visually, as I have heard from others, it appears as I am burning them alive, until 5 minutes later, the burnt husk appears as they did 15 minutes prior. To those around me, when I do this, I highly recommend they turn around with blindfolds and ear plugs, as they are more useful to me functional than useless in the presence of God's son.

Several animals lick their wounds and the wounds of others to promote healing. This is because their saliva contains both tissue factor, which promotes clotting, and the enzyme lysozyme, which breaks down potentially harmful bacteria in the wound. Charlotte, more in touch with her primal side than ever before, can now utilize this to force smaller wounds into better shape by licking them, and even force larger ones to clot completely so they don’t bleed out or get infected. Well, with anything else than a random form of lycanthropy, which is very transmittable via saliva.
