If targeting self, Lod's mental psyche wraps around the specific injury, there is no glow or outwardly effect on any plane of existence that would show that this ability is in use, except for the tell for this ability.
If the target is someone other than self, then Lod's mental psyche wraps around that specific injury, in a manner in which there is no glow or outwardly effect on any plane of existence that would show that this ability is in use, except for the tell for this ability.
In either the case, the ability will leave a twinge of psychic energy to do its work.
After Lod's third contractor, he understood what he was missing. As a doctor, he has the power to heal, but if that knowledge was used in conjunction with a real healing superpower? In that case, he could help his patients to an even greater degree, not to mention himself and his fellow Contractors.
Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 8.
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. Your patient is required to keep the wound dry and completely covered for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is Lifting my ring ringer and waving it in a 30 degree arc from right to left. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
- The patient is aware of this requirement.
- Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

There is always a price
Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.

You're Gonna Be Okay!
Just hang in there friend!
A visible bond is shared between user and target as intelligence is pulled by the target, from the user to restore health. This is a clearly visible pulsating stream of light between the 2 and bystanders are drawn to it's calming light.
Many and varied are the healing touches of the world. But none like Wisdom's Embrace. Sometimes, knowing a thing is all that you need to do a thing and healing is no different. Wisdom's Embrace utilizes the user's knowledge as pure energy to perform a sequence of actions that would quickly lead to the result. "Healing" someone is merely circumstance as it is more along the lines of "Repairing what is broken".
