The edges of my wounds crackle with little static bolts and they look like they stop too much blood flow. Over a few days, the static seems like it's knitting the wounds closed altogether.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive from a source other than water heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every day, starting once it becomes stabilized. You may also Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of a single stabilized Injury by 1. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.
Battle Scars caused by your Injuries will remain. Any Injuries you receive automatically count as a successful Makeshift Stabilization and do not deteriorate further.

The mystic enters a meditation while focusing on a remote location. A glowing sigil of an eye appears on their forehead, and a ghostly image of themselves meditating appears at the location they are envisioning. For a brief period, they may see the area they are projecting to as though they were standing there.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target Location within 75 feet.
You may perceive things as if you were standing at that Location for the next 30 minutes. You must maintain Concentration to keep up the effect. You cannot perceive anything at your physical location while the effect is active.

You create a visible manifestation at the Location where your senses are projected which looks like a ghostly image of yourself meditating.
When Huey activates this heightened sense, his pupils dilate unnaturally, taking on a faint, luminous amber glow a subtle reminder of his lycanthropic nature. To anyone paying close attention, his gaze becomes eerily focused, as if peeling back layers of reality to notice details others would never perceive.
When the ability fully kicks in (especially when Huey Exerts his Mind for an automatic Outcome), the world seems to slow down from his perspective. Colors become sharper, sounds more distinct, and every movement in his surroundings appears exaggerated, as if caught in the crosshairs of an apex predator.
Huey’s curse as a werewolf has sharpened his instincts far beyond natural human limits. Over time, this heightened awareness evolved from a mere survival tool into something far more powerful an apex hunter’s intuition that allows him to read the environment like an open book.
His senses don’t just extend outward they pierce through shadows, fog, and the veil of human ignorance. The downside of this heightened perception is that some horrors can never be unseen; each time his instincts save him, his mind pays the toll, teetering closer to the edge of trauma with every unspeakable sight.
Whether it’s spotting a threat from twice the normal distance or catching a glimpse of the supernatural where others see nothing, Eyes of the Predator turns Huey into a living radar for danger and the consequences of what he perceives could haunt him forever.

Ianthe is a very reasonable loan-giver, a stunning beauty, and a kind soul who couldn't possibly hurt a fly. People naturally gravitate to her side in any argument. How could this tiny, delightful woman be in the wrong?
Ianthe knows how she comes across. She's weak and harmless, yet fun and pretty enough for people to loose their lips around. She plays into it often in order to get people on her side. By far the most devilish part of her facade is that she is usually genuinely concerned.

For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.
Your commands must be relatively simple and within the target’s intellectual grasp. You cannot make them obviously endanger themselves or violate their instinct for self-preservation. The effects of the command will fade after a day has passed.
The Necromancer temporarily assumes the form of their own corpse, complete with maggots, spilled entrails, and exposed bone. They cannot move while transformed, but their empty eye sockets see as well as ever.

You transform into your own corpse for one minute. While transformed, you may control the functioning of the object you have transformed into. You can perceive your surroundings as normal. You can be targeted as a Non-Living, Sapient Object.

The vampire sucks a copious amount of blood from a human and replenishes their own cursed flesh.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you drink blood directly from a human until it injures them. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + 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.
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 you drink blood directly from the vein.
