Forcing the nanites within his body to proliferate wildly... it becomes akin to a tumor, but worse, targeting every part of the body. These nanites are then split off from crane in his nanite form, then, the nanites is then injected directly into the target, allowing it to consume and devour the target, rotting them, using that, it continues to grow and grow, until the program runs its course and expires, or it loses to the body immune system. Though in such cases where it continues to run, similar to all electronic, a strong surge of electricity disables the nanites, overcharging them and causing them to short circuit.
Due to the nature of the nanites, it makes crane gag easily as he has to deal with the fact that the thing is rotting right in front of him, feeling every little bit. It disgust him and makes him physically ill.
Along with that, the constant losing of nanites due to this is irritating him causing him to easily be enraged.

A simple ritual that Pen learned which causes angry spirits of the target's ancestors to immediately begin to haunt and affect the target. Her blood ties her to all of her ancestors by her DNA, and upon consumption by a target mingles with theirs to cause anyone in their family tree that might be angry with them to make that anger known. Most of the time, this is a spurned relative who died relatively recently - however the curse goes as far back as it needs to find an angry spirit. If you go far back enough, everyone has a connection to someone that died bitter and alone.
