A writhing mass of metal chains rises out of the floor at Grayson’s call…when the revenant spirit of Leyding is in the mood. It is a fickle thing, and knows not whether to trust his potential. Right now, it does not always come when he beckons.
This mass of winding, rusted, broken chains fires off a few links at his target, interrupting or binding them in a spectral embrace.
Leyding…one of the two chains broken attempting to bind Fenrir. When Leyding broke, its ghost carried on. A ghost without a home. A ghost with failed purpose. Thousands of years later…in the unlikeliest of places, its spirit latched on to a young rocker on the streets of Seattle. He had a gift for convincing people. And Leyding learned from its successor Gleipnir—that the trick to trapping someone is often in convincing them there is no escape.

A small action figure, which looks cheaply made but seems to have been infused by healing powers. People that don’t know how Johnny Fontaine look like will not recognise him by looks because the doll looks kinda like a basic guy.
The Action figure has glowing eyes if it hasn’t been used. If it is used and durable doesn’t work, then the eyes will slowly stop glowing and feel a lot less magical.
The person holds the doll in their hands. Using it will make the golden light emitted of the eyes shine stronger and the injury in question will also be glowing with the same hue.
“People used to tell me: Johnny, you are such a great guy and I’m so happy to have you as a friend. I wish that everyone could have a friend like you.
This made me think: yeah it would be nice if everybody had a friend so reliable, helpful, funny, intelligent and humble as me. Which is why I have created my own line of action figure Johnnys. To get a closer experience to the real deal I have infused the dolls with my healing capability. This works for at least one use and if you are lucky enough a couple.
You can now have your own Johnny Fontaine to take with you on amazing adventures, to important exams for good luck and maybe even to a candlelight diner for a date with the J man himself.
Get yours now!”

If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on the same patient.
A bit of a gambler, he won this lupe in a game of cards some time back. The man he bought it from was a lost steampunk explorer, down on his luck and desperate for a small quantity of radium for some reason.
As Dr Scab pulls out his lupe and carefully examines the object in question, strange illusions can be caught in the lupe lens's reflection such as eyes, teeth, or flames but Scab doesn't seem to notice or mind, simply turning a little disk at the end presumably tweaking the focus.

This witch is a cruel and vengeful creature who works her vile arts against those she deems worthy of punishment. All she must do is point.
