White Goo What's in it? That's a secret!
The white goo that oozes from my skin is actually a colony of bacteria. It's been genetically modified to act as a sort of stem cell. In short, it'll help regrow damaged body parts. Yes it does hurt as your nerve endings regrow, don't worry, the pain is only temporary.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you a worsening of the scar or a new one develops. 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. Select up to four Battle Scars on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scars heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition. Lasts until the end of their next Contract or 1 month for non-Contractors.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see a white substance oozes from all my pours and is collected in my hand.
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- 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.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Sow the Seeds
and grow again
Nari can heal the damage, but it is still apparent that something happened. Nari must be touching the area that they are going to repair for it to work. What is being healed glows for a few moments, then healing process begins. It takes over an hour for the body to repair itself, but this happens on its own. Nari is not needed to be around for the process to finish.
However, once it is done, the body does not return to before. If a limb is lost and regrown, there will be markings on the skin akin to scars. If skin was burned, it will grow back, but be discolored. There is no more pain or damage, though.
Exert your Mind and spend an hour. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.

Ninja Restoration
"What once was gone is now stylish."
Chika takes a scroll in her hand and rolls it out. The scroll can have a pre-designed pattern on it, created by Chika or someone else, or Chika can create the design on the spur of the moment.
She then begins harnessing ancient ninja magics, often in a meditative pose. As she does so, the pattern on the scroll begins to float off, swirling through the air and meeting the area of the scar.
As it does so it begins restoring the area. After the ritual is complete, the area is restored, be it missing limbs or what have you, now bearing the design that was on the scroll.
New limbs and areas formed by this power leak shimmering whisps of light in different colors depending on the pattern rather than blood.

Draw-Back Time
"things reversed are often good"
The User Holds the inverted fractal with one hand, visibly focusing, only a moment later their scar is healed, the area seeming like the injury never happened at all.
When one is injured, like all things it happens with the forward flow of time, but if you were to swap that, to invert it- then what would happen other than the reversal of time, and therefore whatever injuries one may have .
The invereted fractal will invert the local flow of time around whatever scar its user may have, the reversal is quick as the users body heals from their scar.
