Zombie's Saving Grace
This power is specifically made to stabilize the energies that typically rack through the body following a resurrection event by harnessing and reorienting it to repair the body. This is best used in conjunction with Nihil's Resurrection, allowing those raised by it to maintain their forms so long as they carry the item, lay their hands upon it or grasp it and clear their minds of all thoughts.
It is preferable that within 48 hours of resurrection, that the resurrectee would use this item, but up to 5 days following an absence from this item, the damage done by the rampaging energies and the rejection of the body parts can no longer be rectified by use of this power.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless the user has died and been resurrected. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Alertness at Difficulty 8.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome, unless it had Severity 4 or higher, in which case its Severity remains the same. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
You may treat Severity 1 Injuries without making a roll or paying the Exertion cost, so long as they were not self-inflicted as an activation cost for an Effect.
- Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
