It's a lot of work being a student and a contractor, especially after having to suddenly transfer not only identities, but also medical programs. Since Amaryllis was pronounced dead, it would take a little bit of finagling for Mr. Walter to supply the University of Chicago with convincing documents to Lilith's history. With a few favors and some time, Lilith Weider was officially accepted into the Doctoral program at Pritzker College of Medicine where she can continue her studies.
Lilith's understanding of medical terminology and methods was already quite strong by now, but imbuement has rapidly increased her rate of learning as well as her curiosity. She began by experimenting on small mammals such as rats and mice, learning how to manipulate the blood in their systems to stabilize inflicted wounds. With her consent, she tried it on Naamah as well, willing the dog's blood to stitch an incision back together and scab over in a matter of seconds. Recording this all in a journal, she began to gather some useful research on how to combine her understanding of medicine with her new supernatural abilities. One day soon, the notes will be obsolete as she perfects and memorizes her methods.
In addition, she has learned that just a single drop of her blood is able to keep any harvested body part in a fascinating form of sterile stasis, be it blood, limbs, or the heart of a lizard-person. She's realized that her body can be used as a storage unit for foreign blood as well, keeping a suspended sample directly in her veins.
