As a banshee, your howl foretells death. Those who hear you are plagued with intense visions of their own demise: it's rarely a pleasant thing to see.
Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Screaming. Just screaming. Select a Human target within 20 feet. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. Roll Performance at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8 with a -3 dice penalty. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically and their Outcome is 0.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes Mind damage equal to the Contested Outcome. If you deal at least 3 Mind damage, the target will gain a new Trauma selected by the GM. This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.

Kotodama, the spirit word. The same means by which Susanoo proved his sincerity to Amaterasu and produced the 5 male deities that rule in the Celestial Palace. Leon has mastered a minor form of this in the form of manipulating Intrusive thoughts. The nattering, unwanted, whispers that lay at the edge of your mind. An excellent tool for delivering clandestine whispers for a novice telepath, though not strictly a Kitsune's strength Leon has come to realize that it is a talent that he needs to develop. Though all Kitsune are psychic to a degree, Leon's particular talents require quite a bit of a mental push, and he can only send a few short whispers but he can send them anywhere to anyone. After all, it only took a few sweet nothings to undo Troy.

With little more than a tap, Lilith is able to extract all the blood from a body within barely a second. A body shriveled in this way is likely difficult to identify, though its bones (especially teeth) will still be intact.
While the blood appears to be siphoned into Lilith's cursed wounds underneath her heavy medical bandages, it does not directly come into contact with her bloodstream. She can easily conjure stored blood from her wounds, willing it out in all manners of shapes and streams. With a flourish of her hands, she's able to use this newly summoned blood to fuel some of her more powerful abilities.

The doctor is a master at surgical transplantation. As long as they have a donor part, they can replace any permanent, lingering battle scars on their patient. Of course, the transplanted part doesn't always match, and the patient must be careful to follow the doctor's aftercare orders, or the replacement will be rejected.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must use up a donor body part matching the injured area in order to activate this Effect. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind a mismatched replacement on the target which cannot be healed.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
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.
