The Hemomancer’s ritual, brutal in nature, uses the heart of a once-living creature as its catalyst. Her skin thrums with energy as she bends her own freshly spilled blood through the muscle until she is changed completely.
She shifts into a quivering pile of ichor, entrails and organs rolling and gripping at the ground as it begins to shamble forward. A bloody appendage squirms its way out of the center, lashing wildly at the nearest foe...
Terrifying as it is, the creature can still heal just as effectively... If only a patient would only stop squirming to accept the help.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend a Free Action. You must actively and obviously use a heart to activate this Effect.
You transform into a viscous mound of animated gore for the next hour. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. Observers will view you as an unusual entity moving with a singular purpose.
While in this form, you can squeeze through any gap that is not water-tight.

You cannot communicate while transformed. Your equipment does not transform with you beyond basic body coverings. Carrying capacity is unaffected.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see the hemomancer’s rapid transformation into a roiling creature of animated blood.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.
Kyle presses a finger into the back of his neck - you hear a sharp crack. He stares at the locked doors. The keypad flashes green for a brief moment. After a long and drawn-out silence, the door unlocks, and swings wide open - allowing entry.
What the fuck?
Kyle is not fully human. He doesn't quite know it yet, but a part of his brain's been replaced with cybernetics and electronics. Using an antennae located in his head, he is able to subconsciously operate these bio-technical electronics responsible for interfacing with computer systems.

The pyro points a laser pointer towards a target, and a cat-sized-and-shaped fire springs into life, very clearly attracted to the laser. This flame cat can also be shaped from existing fires. While the pointer is active it remains in the shape of a cat, pouncing towards the little red dot. When the laser pointer is not active, the flames return to normal.
