The targeted scar visually casts colorful shadows (that appear to be superimposed on our reality and actively moving) of itself, which all seem to be different iterations of itself.

As the hour passes the original form starts to show up more and more often, until finally it settles in its original healed form.
The one to activate this power reaches into the beyond to gather information about the possibilities of his own form. The perfect form is the originally designed form for this individual, and this information over the course of the casting flows into the very cells of the body, allowing them to regenerate as needed.
