When performing a detailed medical examination, Liam is occasionally assisted by the ghosts of the departed, who whisper detailed information to him. If someone is very sharp, they might also hear these whispers. Like most Medical Exams, this process takes some time & can be easily resisted.

Bu fang finds his target with ease. Taking that moment, his knife in hand, as if casting a culinary symphony, he waves his knife into the air, striking down as if chopping the air. The target finds themselves feeling pain before they start to notice that their body is being cooked, turned into mere ingredients infront of bu fang.
if possible use charisma+cooking
Edit: This one is fine I guess? 300ft is a bit odd, but good enough. Might be better on the Knife for the extra Gift point since it uses Focus anyway, but that's up to you
Exert your Mind and Spend an Action. Select a Living target within 300 feet. You must actively and obviously use Knife to activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Crafts at Difficulty 6. The target may roll Body, Difficulty 7, as a Free Action to resist.
If you succeed, the target receives a new Battle Scar of your choosing, limited by the contested Outcome:
If you inflict two Extreme (Outcome > 3) Battle Scars on the target, you may transform them fully into another species.
You may cure any Battle Scars you have created with this Effect with a Free Action on your initiative. They are healed over the course of the next hour.
Your alteration "heals" over the course of the next month, after which it is fully cured.
Through the reflective surface, Nathan invites a specific damned spirit, commonly with an offerring of some sort, bearing the appalling appearance of their particular death, squirming into his body, gifting his reflection a misshapen conjoined ghost which lends its capabilities.
The possessor of the spirit can always see their disturbing form reflected.
Spirit possession is practiced by spirit mediums, which has a deity who is invited to take over the their body, granting noticeable alterations to the practitioner. This capability stems from the nature of the mediums, who if compared to vessels are unfilled unlike most adults. This grants them space that deities can occupy.
Nathan cannot do that, he does not have the reach to even commune with a deity, let alone invite their presence but with part of his hun as a reflection, he can replicate some aspects of this effect, calling upon the dead, or even only parts of them. After the occupation is complete, then the real work can be done, transference.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You may only target yourself. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Trauma and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
By transplanting a body part from an Alien being, you can grant an intrinsic Effect from that part to the subject. Its power level should be limited to one Gift Point or less.
The augmentations you provide are not outwardly visible nor obvious.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the forming of the terrible lingering spirit.
Belle holds up a flag and begins the pledge of allegiance, anyone who is watching feels compelled to express their patriotism as well.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. A number of Sapient, Living targets within 50 feet who can perceive you through no greater than your Charisma rating are affected. Audiences or mobs with a singular focus count as one target. You must actively and obviously use American Flag to activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6. All affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If you succeed, the targets will keep their full attention focused on you for Contested Outcome in Rounds. They will automatically fail any rolls related to noticing anything other than you.
If you pass from their perception and they are unable to pursue you, the Effect ends. If they can follow you, they must do so for 2 Rounds or the Effect will end. The Effect will continue even if violence occurs nearby or if your target is Injured. It does end if the target takes Damage from a source other than you.
This does not affect the target’s opinion of you or their mood, and they may take any Actions while affected (including attacking), as long as that action centers on you. Fascinated targets cannot Concentrate.

Spend one minute and use up this phoneix down (a glowing yellow-orange feather!). Select a Dead target within arm's reach that has died within the last month.
Your target rises as an Animate being. They remember their past life and retain their same personality. They can communicate as they would have been able to in life. They may roll Mind, Difficulty 8, to resist any commands you give them.
The creature lasts until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion. The raised creature must consume a person's life; they must "grip" them (kill) every day or it will die again.
Raised creatures have all their Abilities set to 0. Their Attributes are all the same as they were in life. Raised creatures have access to any Effects they had in life.
Kevin will begin forcing the whole world to be friends he no longer will allow bad friends to harm his good friends.

You may make an oath with a Sapient target. Communicate the oath's terms to the target, including the requirements and penalties for each participant. If all agree to the terms, you must Exert your Mind and all participants must Say I promise to seal the deal.
Record the oath as a Condition. If a party breaks the oath, the Condition ends and they suffer the oath's penalty.
When crafting your oath, you may incorporate any of the following penalties:
The target cannot be compelled to agree via a direct threat of violence, another Effect, or another oath. If you would like to use clever wording to mislead the target, you must succeed a contested Intellect + (Culture or Influence) roll.
You may revert a penalty for breaking one of your oaths on any participant other than yourself.
The target may be at any range, but you must still be able to communicate the terms to them, and they must be able to Say I promise.
It is obvious to your target that the oath you are proposing will be supernaturally enforced.
The same terms and penalties must apply to every party in each deal.
The doctor is a master at surgical transplantation. As long as they have a donor part, they can replace any permanent, lingering battle scars on their patient. Of course, the transplanted part doesn't always match, and the patient must be careful to follow the doctor's aftercare orders, or the replacement will be rejected.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must use up a donor body part matching the injured area in order to activate this Effect. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition. Lasts until the end of their next Contract or 1 month for non-Contractors.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind a mismatched replacement on the target which cannot be healed.

The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.

Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. 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.
