Oleg's mutagenic mastery manifests in a visceral display of accelerated healing. As he activates this power, damaged flesh, torn tendons, and shattered bones erupt in a frenzy of regeneration.

In mere moments, wounds close, fractures mend, and organs repair—a miracle of science that blurs the line between agony and relief.

Your recent injury requires special aftercare to ensure proper healing. For the next month, you must avoid being attacked by, exposed to or consuming any substances with a pH of 3.5 or lower, including but not limited to acidic foods and beverages like citrus, vinegar and sodas. Failure to adhere to this restriction will cause the effects of your healing to immediately reverse, and you will regain the damage that was previously healed.
