Points of light show within Dr. Lamech and their patient's bodies like tiny stars where he touches. By directing and manipulating spiritual energy in the injured person, the doctor accelerates and promotes healing, forcing the wound to heal cleanly. Unfortunately the strain on the target leaves them open to haunting or possession by opportunistic spirits.
The Doctor has received a medical manual of spiritual healing, or Reiki. Despite his distaste for what he considers pseudo-scientific quackery, after reading the manual and practicing the techniques, he is in awe of the results. By laying on hands, he is able to feel and redirect the energy in people's bodies, speeding the healing process to supernatural levels.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
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.

Stats: During the possession, you use the host body’s Body rating, but your own Mind rating.

You gain the effects of any physical Assets and Liabilities they have. You cannot read the target’s mind or memories.
Gifts: You have access to and can use any of your own Powers which are intrinsic to your biology or physical body. You cannot access any Powers or other supernatural effects which the target has, unless they are intrinsic to the target’s biology or physical body.
Death: If the host body is killed or destroyed while you are still possessing it, you will die along with it.
Eviction: If you attempt to force your host to take actions which would violate one of their Limits or their instinct for self-preservation, they may resist by rolling Mind. If their Outcome is higher than or equal to the contested Outcome, the possession ends and you are evicted from their body.
While possessing your target, you may put them into “autopilot.” During this time they will act as they would normally for the situation without the knowledge that you are/were possessing them.
