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.

Regression Therapy
Let’s go back to where it broke.
Dr. [Name] doesn’t heal wounds so much as excavate them—digging through memory and nerve, peeling back scar tissue like pages in a patient file. It's not kindness. It's clarity. Pain makes the truth plain.
As the Doctor rests a hand on the target and locks eyes, her pupils dilate into spirals—surgical black, endlessly deep.
“Look at me,” she says, voice steady. “Start at sixty. Count backward.”
The world around the patient starts to blur and dim. Their body trembles as it snaps backward—visibly reverting in real time to the exact state it was in during their most recent trauma. The injury reopens for a brief moment, pain flooding their senses—until the damage reverses entirely, taking the scar with it.
All the while, the Doctor never blinks.
The Doctor does not believe in clean healing. To her, every scar is a lie the body tells to pretend it survived gracefully. Her therapy unravels that fiction. The patient is dragged to the moment it all went wrong—forced to relive it in perfect clarity, while their body regresses to that exact point in time.
It’s not anesthesia. It’s exposure.
Some wake up sobbing. Others don’t remember the count ever starting.
She says it’s progress.

Body's Restorative Ceremony of Aradia

Black Medicine
Ancient power, Modern Methods
With some life energy provided by the Doctor, he can cause damaged tissue to reform or reattach, restoring functionality to otherwise unhealable wounds. The doctor must maintain physical contact with the patient, guiding necromatic energies into their body to precisely stitch together the injured area.
The latest manuscript described blood sorcery and necromantic methods of reanimating flesh and spirits. At first appalled by the horrible methods, the Doctor applied their knowledge of modern medicine, minimizing the drawbacks and streamlining the healing processes. Now with a rudimentary understanding of occult practice, the Doctor is able to apply this Black Medicine to treat patients, and have expanded their understanding of the human condition, and the pieces that animate it.
Exert your Mind and spend an hour. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select up to four Battle Scars on your target to treat.

Transplant
If it's broken, replace it!
The doctor is a master at surgical transplantation. As long as they have a donor part, they can replace any permanent, lingering battle scars on their patient.
