Called for and slipping out from behind Grace’s head like an ash-black Cheshire, Horatio comes padding silently down to the girls’ arms. A quick swipe of his claws, and a wound is opened- but on Obedience’s arm, not the physical one. The girls drip the ethereal blood into the mouth of the target, sharing blood free of all impurities to cleanse them. The target glows faintly blue from their throat, to their chest, to their stomach as their body is cleansed, but the process is not complete until 15 minutes later when they spit up blackened, viscous and diseased-saturated fluid.
Pesticides, maggots, lockjaw… there is no room for restrictive impurities in Grace’s body. They were sick of it, literally and metaphorically, so they found the cleanest thing they’d always have and made use of it. Blood that never darkens or catches disease, blood that embodies will and aid. Obedience will heal- she needs only herself to do so. Horatio has the short end of the stick with his guilt, but even that is temporary.

Observing the effects of the affliction up close, Nathan attaches a strip of yellow paper to the body of the afflicted as he incants a particular mantra in Mandarin.
As he does so, he builds the body of the talisman, drawing, preferably with cinnabar ink and a brush, from its head to its feet, before the malady is suppressed, the fu flaring to life momentarily, drying instantaneously.
The talisman is mainly composed of its head, gut and feet. Learning this particular effect from school under the Three Pure Ones, these fu begin with three hooks. The gut is the main soul and essence of the talisman, and that which determines its effectiveness and is formulated with several secret characters. The feet, lastly, are as varied as the stars in the sky, depending on the intention behind the talisman.

Roy places the cane against the surface/individual he wishes to treat and begins to trace out different sections that need treatment with the cane tip, leaving a light blue mark where the tip of the cane touches.

The Witch is a master herbalist and can cure any number of illnesses and diseases with her special potions. She goes into the wilderness to find the proper set of herbs.
