You speak the activation phrase into the mirror. You see in the mirror a more whole version of yourself chained to the floor in a room mirroring the room you are in. You can talk to your mirror self about your traumas and bad memories, such that the mirror self knows fully the cause of the trauma.
Then, you must convince your mirror self to take the trauma in your place.
You can also act as an intermediary for others to use the mirror from a distance. The target must share the trauma's, their origin, and the details of it. As you get these details, you see the mirror forms an image of a more whole version of the person you are talking to. The room also reflects the area they received the trauma. The duplicate is dragged through the experience, by chained manacles which force them to enact the traumatizing event.
You then convince them to take the trauma for their corresponding mirrored self. You can talk to multiple people at the same time/ effect all targets with this.
If you succeed, you see them be affected immediately, taking on the physical condition of the contractor at the time they received the trauma, and the room shifts to be a reflection of the traumatic moment.
This Mirror was made by Vel by accident and can't be remade. Waking from a nightmare, Vel ran to the bathroom and vomited. They spent the rest of the night staring into the bathroom mirror, talking about what happened. At some point their power triggered, and the Mirror was given its ability.
The mirror effectively creates a temporary duplicate of the individuals targeted and drags that duplicate through experiencing the trauma. The duplicates know they are duplicates, but don't have any of the traumas the targeted individual has.
They then, at the end of this experience need to be convinced to go through the trauma once more, and in so doing remove it from the contractor being targeted. The duplicates have all their memories, care about their duplicate, and know they will cease to exist one way or another. They just need to be convinced to suffer more first.
Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living target at any distance, provided you are able to communicate. Over the course of one day, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired. After the full treatment time has elapsed, roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.
Your target may Resist. If your treatment is successful, you may remove one of the patient's revealed Traumas without incurring any Experience cost.
You may heal a Trauma on any number of targets with a single activation of this Effect, but any Traumas which you treat are revealed to the entire group.

The Claw of Akhekh is an old Gauntlet that magically bonds to a host, taking the place of their right arm. It is made of a strange living metal, and is similar in shape to the claw of a dragon. It possesses numerous mystical abilities, including the power to stretch and warp its shape, extending over 30 feet from its wielder. It is intelligent, capable of independent action from its wielder, but can be controlled through the magical bond it creates, as well as feedback from the tendrils it extends into the body of its wielder. The Gauntlet can remove its tendrils from the Wielders body and be removed, but this removes the benefits it grants to the Wielder.
