There are potentially multiple people involved, for clarity, the "user" is the one using the gift, and a "target" is anyone being targeted. A user can also be targeted.
Over the course of the day, the user directs all of the targeted to share the memories of the trauma they want to heal. In this time, they set up an elaborate summoning circle.
If at the end of the day, they have setup correctly (critical fail check) then they can make a summon forth and bid (Charisma + Occult) a powerful demon of fear and nightmares to consume the trauma which inflicts the users.
This is the First of Liv's planned grand rituals. It involves summoning and using the effects of a very powerful demon in a ritual to create a beneficial effect.
Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check.

Over the course of one day, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired.

For everyone except the target, there is no visual component to this gift. For the target, however, they will watch as reality begins to crack, the fissures emanating from the user (or the user's method of communication). The cracks encompass everything that the target is able to see, before quickly shattering, revealing a lively cosmos underneath the world. Looking around, the target will be able to identify that they are in an altered version of our familiar solar system. The planets are closer together, bridges that span miles of empty space connect distant celestial bodies, lights line every planet in the system, spaceships navigate through the depths, unfathomably large superstructures dot the horizon, and the stars shine brighter than they ever have before. In this sight, humanity's indomitable will and the true beauty of the cosmos are revealed to the target. The target spends hours here, watching an idealized version of the world revolve as the user's disembodied voice talks to them about their traumas. As the session comes to a close and the user makes the roll to determine the outcome of this therapy, the paths diverge.
If the roll succeeds:
The sun starts to grow, before combusting and bathing everything that the target can see in a white light. The target feels a comfortable warmth on their skin as they are briefly blinded. When their vision returns, the target will find themselves returned to where they were before the therapy began, feeling lighter. The warmth sticks with them for a while afterwards.
If the roll fails:
The sun runs cold, and the universe follows suit. Where once there was a bustling universe, there now sits a lifeless corpse. The target stays there for a moment, before the darkness becomes too overbearing to remain. The target opens their eyes, and finds themselves where they were, their traumas still plaguing them.
This gift was manifested through a combination of Andromeda's dream of a cosmos that's at her fingertips, and her desire to help the people around her. She imagines a world where everyone has achieved her dreams, hoping that her realized passion will have a positive impact on her friends.
Andromeda is aware of the vision that she gives the target, though she has not actually seen it herself.

the Bible in his hands begins to glow with an ethereal golden light, its edges shimmering like the dawn breaking through stained glass. As he opens its pages, the light intensifies, casting warm, dancing rays across the room. He places his hand gently on the person’s forehead, and the golden light flows from the Bible into his palm, then travels like liquid sunlight into the person's mind.

"Something's got you down? It's ok, why don't 'cha come down to my ranch and work it out? Nothing clears the mind like a good day at the range. What? You don't know how to shoot? That's ok, I'll teach 'cha! Just one condition for me to help you. You gotta play by my rules. You gotta talk the talk, walk the walk, and most importantly...NONE OF THAT FANCY ELECTRONICS STUFF! If you need to make a call, use the land line! Think of it as a vacation."
