The power to temporarily transform into a wereshark.
Used by Grace W. Sharp, Created by Monday.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect or for its duration is very likely to be disturbed to see the brutal, visceral transformation of a shark monster. )

With a bestial roar, Grace allows her affliction to overpower her. Her bones snap, her flesh morphs and tears itself apart, and ultimately, she takes the body of a monstrous, humanoid shark. After her transformation ends, she rapidly shrinks and shifts back into her regular human form.

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

If you are restricted, restrained, dazed, sleepy, or stunned, you may activate this Effect to break free or end the negative effect. You cannot free yourself by transforming more than once a minute.

While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.

Keskikesän kuikka lenteli suon
yllä ja laskeutui suuren puun
juurelle. Vesilintu muni kolme
munaa. Ensimmäinen munista vierähti
pesästä ja halkesi. Halkeamasta vuosi
verta seitsemän päivää ja seitsemän
yötä. Verestä muodostui elämä ja kuolema

Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend 1 minute. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Brawl 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.

  • Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.
  • 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.

While active, the user seems to function on a motor instinct that is not their own, as if something else is guiding their limbs and reinforcing their muscles. This allows for heightened feats of strength and manual dexterity beyond the individual's standard limits.

However, the price is the sense of unearthly cold that grips the body after the duration of the drug's effect. For the first few moments, the numbing, biting cold freezes the joints and making walking painful. Even when the body regains proper motor functionality, the numb sensations causes whole body aches which persist for an hour.
