You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat.

Jason Brenning's body begins to pull away from itself as it they are being torn through realms of the dead, their body vigorously shaking, and twitching violently. The sounds of the bone, flesh and sinew reform becoming audible as the ghosts break away from them and "mend" the body from within, pulling away the flesh from their own to rebuild the broken.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend 15 minutes. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Dexterity + Animals 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.
If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Jason Brenning's body begins to pull away from itself as it they are being torn through realms of the dead, their body vigorously shaking, and twitching violently. The sounds of the bone, flesh and sinew reform becoming audible as the ghosts break away from them and "mend" the body from within, pulling away the flesh from their own to rebuild the broken. When all is said and done, it leaves behind a bloodied mess where the wounds once were.
A Shot in the dark, the black ichor of life spills from his wound. Getting shot was inevitable in this line of work, but being alive to tell the tale should be too.
This change in biology was the least strange of things he had to deal with. Telling the doctors that this was normal would be much stranger.
Shackled with apathy
his heart still pumps red
a Man who bleeds mortal blood
cannot live with me.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 2. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.
All Injuries you receive are considered Properly Stabilized. You may also choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that may not have been caused by an Injury. Doing so takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Abnormally black circulatory system.
The Well's Gallery is the prime manifestation of Luci's power-set. The Gallery is a holding space within The Well hidden within her shadow and barring very few people, she is the only one that can access it. She can be creative about pulling things in an out of the Gallery, but most of the time, she crouches down and dips her hand into her own shadow, parting it as if it were a thick viscous ink before pulling out her desired object/entity.
The Gallery, from the inside, manifests as... well, a gallery. It is a rectangular room- like a long hall museum exhibit with a tall domed ceiling that hangs some well crafted chandeliers purely for decoration. The walls are simple- a base sky amber with white diagonal lines. The floor is a classic tarrazzo flooring system with an off-white color that resembles polished stone.
Items that are stashed within The Gallery are stored as exhibits. Most of them appear as snapshots in time on paintings or murals, taken when they are first stashed. But for more sapient targets that can not easily be contained in pictures, they are put inside of a 15 foot by 15 foot by 15 foot indestructible display case.
And at the very far end of the room, Umbra is imprisoned within her own display case, brooding and generally being rude. Luci is always keeping tabs on her and preventing her from exercising her own will, but sometimes, that isn't easy.
Spend a Quick Action.
You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may only stash targets which are in your possession, grappled, or otherwise controlled by you.

Time is effectively frozen inside your stash. Anything Sapient inside can still move and may still experience their own localized, subjective passage of time.
Animate targets may Resist being stashed. You must Exert your Mind to stash Sapient targets.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Whenever Luci has below a -2 stress penalty, she loses a bit of fortitude and Umbra will be able to speak her mind freely from Luci's shadow. She will tend to make threats, taunt enemies, reveal sensitive information openly, and generally be an annoyance to those around her for the purpose of distracting them. Can interrupt certain power casts of those around.
