Leon has decided that it is time to stop merely playing at divinity and begin embodying it. The first step in doing so is to honor one of the most ancient traditions of Kami. Naorai, the end of the period of fasting and moderation wherein the gods pay the believer back for their devotion. In doing so Leon enjoys a meal in a blessed location as the kami responsible for the people in his land at a sanctified location, during which time he accumulates the energy of faith shared in the meal into a bottle of sake that he keeps beside him throughout the meal. Then, at the end once the bottle has filled with the energy and the sake has been enriched with the spiritual power of both Kami and believer, Leon then takes a drink of sake and bites his tongue before he spits the mixture onto the object in question and in doing so blesses it granting it the power of the kami that aid him in his day to day life and cleansing it of impurities with his own life essence. In this communion as well, two items may be brought into union as god and believer are and in doing so elevate both to something beyond either.

The doc draws some of their own blood with a syringe, and injects it into the target slowly, ideally around whatever location was the most affected. They do this to themselves too, and always seem to draw it from the same spot.
After the scare they experienced in one of their contracts, the doc used their expertise to alter their liver such that it creates antibodies which can cure anything known to man. This was a terrifying process of trial and error, and at least three hospital visits, but they've got it to a point theyre satisfied with. The only downside is that the antibodies and enzymes don't yet spread quickly enough throughout her body, so she has to manually inject herself if the passive amount in her blood doesn't fight off a problem. The good news is, whatever she did, the stuff she pulls from there seems to even work on robots, or the like - simply being injected into any opening that can be made on the target will make it slowly seek out and neutralize the problem.
