An extension and enhancement of Sage's dream based ability to move objects, when she first begins to glide she produces the same tiny trailing wisps as her Telekineses Gift does. They look like something between 3d shadow or unnaturally dense smoke, dissipating almost immediately.
Hovering or slowing a fall do not produce these, just as her Spider Climb Gift doesn't. Possibly staying still or involving motion other than 'telekinesis' doesn't need as much of whatever creates the wisps?
Like her previous gifts, this is not psionic/psychic. It seems magical in origin, and whether it comes from dreams directly is debatable. Thus, she continues to hesitantly use the word 'telekinesis' which is typically used to describe a (pseudo?)scientific movement of matter.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
All Injuries you receive are considered Properly Stabilized. You may also choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that may not have been caused by an Injury. Doing so takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.
Once an Injury has been reduced in Severity by two levels, it no longer benefits from this effect and instead heals as normal.
Edgar is slowly becoming a Ghoul; his hands have thickened & become tipped with hooked talons suitable for digging up graves & tearing flesh. He has grown a short muzzle choked with a combination of his original teeth & savage fangs. His feet have begun to fuse into hoof-like stumps. Like a rat, if he can get his head through a hole, he can get his entire body through.
After consuming a mythical dragon over the period of a month, Edgar's flesh is remarkably resistant to flames.
Update - Edgar has fully transformed into a Ghoul at this time, unable to even remotely pass for human or wear most human clothes, having a short muzzle, elongated arms tipped with hooked talons, & digitigrade legs ending in hardened hoofs - further, his exposure to the creature known as "The Provider" has mutated him - increasing Regenerative abilities & durability - this mutation has come with an increased susceptibility to Acid, which will inflict horrific wounds on his mutated flesh.
