You pull a fountain pen across a blank surface, inking a detailed, top-down representation of the surrounding area.
The map is drawn and annotated in thin black ink, but the coulour shifts to a bright red when drawing an area near the source of alien energy. Slightly opaque shoeprints fade in and out on the paths drawn, illustrating the area's traffic over time, with each set uniquely labelled on a legend in the upper-left corner.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Investigate an area with a radius of up to 100 feet You must actively and obviously use a fountain pen and blank page to activate this Effect. At the end of your investigation, roll Dexterity + Alertness at Difficulty 6.
You learn the following information about the area:
the cat get out pain killers from the back pack and give them to his patient and then jumps on his shoulder and hugs him making chest contact with him then the snake filled with blood in his chest come out glowing above them absorbing them souls and slowly bleeding as the duration ends
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. You cannot target yourself. You must use up pain killers in order to activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine 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. 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.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see a huge snake filled with blood spawns above the cat as the patient starts to scream and small parts of his soul fade into the snake figure.
Vines reach up of their own accord and wrap around the target, pinning them in place.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. You must actively and obviously use vines to activate this Effect. Roll Brawn + Alertness at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, your target will be pushed or pulled towards a surface within 45 feet and is restricted at that location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.
The target may spend an Action and roll Brawn or Dexterity + Athletics to attempt to break free. They must accumulate a total Outcome equal to or greater than the original Contested Outcome to escape. Damage to the binding from outside sources also contributes.
You may use this Effect as a Reaction to contest any physical Action a target is taking. Excess Outcome does not restrict the target. This interrupts Concentration.
If your target does not escape within 3 Rounds, they cannot ever free themselves and must be rescued.

Akira’s regenerative abilities has grown to even greater heights. Like the animals he meticulously researches and take notes about in his youth, and the further mutation of the regenerative serum from OWL, the trait of the Axolotl takes hold. Like the animal, Akira's regeneration is enough to regrow entire limbs and organs, and even pass it down to his comrades. Albeit, with great strain, and his uses are limited. As it directly drains him of his life force.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.

This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is you whispering a prayer under your breath. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting. These wounds burn with holy, golden fire, attacking the sinful malady and expelling it from the body.
