Blanche summons a sewing needle that sticks itself to the front of their clothes, right above the CV17 spot on their chest. The needle will follow whoever it guards, and can be transferred between targets at the doctor's will.
The body glistens with an iridescent sheen which flashes a deep inky black upon impact.
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using a sewing needle to gain the benefits of this Effect.
You have 5 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
You may transfer your Armor to another target within 30 feet once per Round as a Free Action. You may transfer it back to yourself at any range.
Your Armor’s rating is increased by 2. If you do something that Damages, restricts, or otherwise directly, negatively affects another being, your Armor’s rating is decreased by 3 for one minute. This penalty does not stack with itself.
When you take Damage from a source which is within 5 feet, deal back as much Damage as your Armor prevented.
Mama asks to be close to the target as they begin their ritual: they simply kneel before them, or even lay their head on her lap as she sings a song of comfort. Even in her fleeting memories, as faded as they are, she still remembers that last promise: It's 1961, he lays his head on her lap, and she hums him a song of comfort. She pressed his uniform for him, she packed his bags, and now she's brushing his hair. He promised to write to her, every few days to make sure she knew he was okay. She doesn't remember him often anymore, but she remembers the feeling of her golden tears falling. Mama will bless this child, so that they may survive the war. I miss my Husband.
Exert your Mind 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 Intellect + Occult 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. Your patient is required to write letters to someone you love and care for; either it be a partner, family member or friend, everyday. It doesn't matter if you send them or not, but they must be genuine notes of love and appreciation. Tell them how you feel, and how you miss them everyday for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
Isaac is able to communicate to those who don’t have a voice, nor life. When used, his tongue morphs into a long maw belonging to another being of unknown origin, it beckons the undead to awaken so that he may speak with them.

While active and speaking to a single individual, you may choose to use glib tongue. When you do, anything you say to them (even gibberish) will be exactly what they want to hear. You gain no understanding of what that might be.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see seeing your tongue turn into a green tentacle with a mouth on the end come out of your mouth, and begin speaking in the voice of the deceased.
Silas opens up his comically large flask of whiskey, and takes a swig. His hands begin to sparkle in a very noticeable way and the freebird guitar solo begins to play in the background. Silas begins picking up random items and duct taping, nailing, or otherwise affixing them together. The item is miraculously fixed.
Silas had to be scrappy thanks to poverty

For the purpose of more spiritual demands, Luci has allocated some of her power to create a body for Ena that she can control to better help Luci in her endeavors.
This form looks far closer to what Ena looked like when she was trapped in The Well's spirit world. The outline of a body that is constantly emitting black smoke, has red eyes, and speaks in a tone that sounds like they're yelling into a fan.

While submerged, the aquamancer can fully sustain themselves from the waters around them, entirely forgoing food, drink, and even air. They may also enter a state of hibernation, remaining underwater and incapacitated for up to two months.

You no longer require any food, water, or air in order to survive. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement automatically succeeds.
You may spend one minute entering a state of hibernation, during which you are inanimate and unaffected by any requirements for life. You may still perceive the outside world and may spend 3 Rounds "waking up" to end it.
The Thief examines an object closely for a minute to appraise its value. As their eyes dance across the subject, their pupils split vertically, and their irises fade to gold. If it is a particularly valuable item, the Thief may greedily lick their lips, revealing a forked tongue.

If you succeed, you are able to view your target's memories. If you fail, the target knows you're attempting to read their memories.
You may ask a number of specific questions about their memory equal to your Contested Outcome. For example, “what is their computer password,” “What were they doing at 4:00PM yesterday,” etc. You cannot get answers to broad, analytical questions like “are they a good person?” or “what are their plans for the future?”
Each memory takes as long to read as it takes to answer the question. When replaying a full memory, it is replayed in double time.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is your nose bleeding. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

This trauma cannot be removed by spending Experience and undergoing mundane therapy. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.
