Interlibrary Loan A great way to experience stuff not available in your home library (Re: your body)
skin contact between the injury and the transfer target must be made. Both parties become intimately aware of the injury as it fades from one body and appears on the other.
Every sensation becomes imprinted in the mind of the transferers. The way skin peels or folds, the way cells divide and rush, the hemoglobin coagulating and the sense of one persons distinct physical presence feels against the injury. It is impossible to not become aware of the way the body each of you occupies feels around the source of pain.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. Your target may opt to pay the Exertion cost for this effect instead of you. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Mind at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.
You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:
- A single Injury and any Battle Scars it caused
- 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).

Lifesteal
"This is how the world works."
The Vampire takes hold of a helpless victim's vitality from range, visible as a red string appearing taught in her hand leading back to her victim, and uses a sharp edge to cut it free it from them.
Blood and viscera whips across the air, compressing and forming into a small red crystal sphere in her hand which it crunches between its teeth to complete the transfer. Upon doing so, its wounds and scars vanish and its victim is left to bear them, most likely dying in the process.
Melody Waters was a beautiful young woman with brilliant white hair and warm hazel eyes. She was murdered in an alleyway, helpless to so much as scream, and from her death was made Lorelei.
Melody's fate was cut off unfairly by the vampire Vasquez's fangs in her neck. Her hopes and dreams meaning naught and her flesh only sustenance.
