Legacy Power: Caustic Medicine

Victor had an almost intuitive understanding of human anatomy. Unfortunately, his total lack of empathy led him to rather brutal solutions.

A 1 Gift Heal Wound Power used by Victor Vale, created by LiteraryAdventures.

Description

Victor dispassionately examines the target's injuries and state of composition. After making a diagnosis, he stops the target's heart and uses the electrical currents in the target's body to cauterize any wounds. A static field emerges around the target and emits a faint, high-pitched hum.

System

Exert your Mind and spend 1 Minute treating a specific Injury on your patient. Make a roll (Perception + Medicine), Difficulty 10 - 3. Each Success reduces the Injury's Severity by one. If you can reduce its Severity to zero, the wound is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and stabilized, and it will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.

This Power is only effective on humanoid creatures, and you cannot target yourself.

You cannot target the same Injury more than once.

Enhancements

  • Heal Thyself (You may target yourself)

Drawbacks

  • Mage (Activating this Effect requires two consecutive Actions of Concentration. It involves intricate use of the body and voice. If interrupted during activation, the Effect fails. It is obvious you are preparing to activate an Effect during casting.)
  • After-care Instructions (All of your treatments place the same, specific restriction on the patient. The restriction lasts a month (until the end of their next Contract for Contractors), and if they ever break it, the treatment is immediately reversed.)
    • Aftercare restriction - The patient has hemophilia
  • Scarring (When you Activate this Effect, roll a single d10. If the result is 5 or lower, your target receives a Minor Battle Scar.)
    • None - The wounds close with visible raised scarring

Parameters

Potency: 1 ( 3 ) Cast Time: 1 ( 1 Minute )
