My left arm is made of several white-steel sections, filled with (currently) red gel-like sections that function as muscles. My forearm's gel-sections open to reveal several medical tools, including a scalpel, and when closed, the tool rack spins slowly, decoratively, under the surface, making the arm catch the light. Fingertips are currently round, dot-like white steel digits, but they give *almost* like human skin.
Baseline for future expansion. Gel will change from red to blue overtime as the transformation progresses, and will become purple when no human tissue remains. Gel shows system integrity status (it is presently red because uh, system is not integral rn)

When a sledgehammer used to collapse small buildings is applied to bones, its namesake crackling effect is a common side effect.
Hardly supernatural in any observer's eyes but the beholder's, it's easy enough to mistake simply hitting something so much harder than in reality. That's not to say one isn't; but to send integral parts of buildings flying out with a hand tool over machines takes more than a bit of muscle mass. It is no surprise this same power can be applied to less-than-material targets.

Finally, the girls are fusing the way theyโve wanted to since they began Contracting, three and a half years ago. It took Graceโs left eye for them to try this, but the girls are now able to spend a week focusing their energy towards a Battle Scarred area and permanently replacing it with The Spiritโs ghostly flesh. The replaced chunks, eyes, arms, whatever may come, appear just as The Spiritโs: bluish and semi-transparent, but now function just as the respective physical flesh would.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every day. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.
