Zoan has a particularly interesting way of augmenting his target, smashing, breaking, ripping flesh and bone, it all comes… surprisingly easy for him? Of course anyone seeing this would be horrified, but Zoan would never experiment on his targets while awake! Surely not…
Spend 30 minutes. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Your target must make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Battle Scar and can have exactly one of the following Effects:

A black sludge is applied to the wound of the target, and they feel a sharp pain as the salve seeps into their body and eats away at the tissue, taking from other parts of the body to restore the wounded area.
The second of Lewis's twisted experiments. While this salve does heal a target, they will often feel like they lost something from themselves in exchange for the lifesaving care. With enough time and experimentation Lewis believes that he can further improve this process to be sustainable long-term.
Spend 1 minute and use up this salve. Select a Living target within arm's reach. When you Activate this Effect, roll a single d10. If the result is 5 or lower, your target receives a Minor Battle Scar. Roll 7 dice at Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
Lorenzo sets a pile of $10,000 cash (or equivalent in other currency) on fire. As it burns, gold-green smoke wafts up from the blaze and into the nostrils of Lorenzo and 5 other people, who become immediately very high and full of euphoric bliss.
Spend an Action to activate. Select a number of Living targets equal to your Charisma within arm's reach. You must use up $10000 cash in order to activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8.

Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
Both attacking someone and being attacked will end the Effect.
This Gift's level is capped at 2 Gifts and cannot be increased further.
A series of neon-green numbers and letters flood rapidly down the lenses of the sunglasses. This jumbled macro-condensed code is then simplified and ‘gameified’ for the user’s ease of access. Upon completion, the Elite Eyewear’s then provides a digital display and interface — allowing for access and manipulation of the hacked device.
Hacking is freaking hard… So why not make it easier? At the end of the day, I’m a gamer — and with this power, even the most complicated system is like putty in my hands… as long as it’s within range, anyways. Sure, it might take a minute but hacking is freaking hard, OK?? Give me a break…
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Device within 300 feet. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.
When targeting non-computer devices, you may operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.

This Effect cannot be used unless the target is undead, demonic, or another evil creature. You must actively and obviously use a gilded cross to activate this Effect. Roll Brawn + Alertness Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.

This trauma cannot be removed by spending Experience and undergoing mundane therapy. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.
The doctor heals severe injuries in minutes using only standard medical supplies. Lacerations seal under the needle and thread, and reset bones can be used shortly after.

Once the werewolf tastes the blood of their prey, there's no escape. Those injured by the beast's claws and teeth are marked with its saliva. Their wounds smell strongly of blood, and it's only a matter of time before the werewolf returns with a vengeance to finish the kill.
This Effect activates whenever a target you have injured with your teeth or claws escapes the range of your unarmed attacks. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a target within arm's reach. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is alive and bleeds.

You receive +2 dice to any rolls made against a marked target.
