Privatized Healthcare “Health is a human necessity; health is a human right” - "Conversations to Paco" [James Lenhart]
JPM's developed a sort of healing factor, characteristic of 80s and 90s superheroes... his wounds take care of themselves slowly... and sometimes, actively.
JPM believes that healthcare is a human right... for himself, of course, so the very idea that he should ever have to visit a hospital, clinician, or trauma-center ever is so insulting that he's developed the capacity to completely self-care and self-heal.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every day. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.
You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 1. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.
Once an Injury has been reduced in Severity by two levels, it no longer benefits from this effect and instead heals as normal.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Fallen Vigor
I can mend your lesser flesh
While wearing the coin, the Host's flesh knits faster than mortals, and always perfectly restore themselves. They may call upon their Fallen to close wounds immediately in dire need.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
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.
You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 2. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.
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.
Finally Bonded
"All we ever wanted- now what?"
In addition to an accelerated healing rate, any major injuries Grace sustains are “fixed” by Obedience’s form taking the place of the affected area. The restored eyes, limbs, organs, or whatever else may go appear just as Obedience’s: bluish and semi-transparent, but now functioning just as the respective physical flesh would. Currently, her left eye, middle right finger, and most of her intestinal tract have been replaced.
This restoration is the biggest key to the girls' goal that they’ve gotten so far. The bond they want so badly is within their reach- all it takes is getting hurt badly enough. Rather than opting to chop off Grace’s limbs in the name of it (which they could theoretically survive), the menagerie decided to continue Contracting so they can get hurt in ways that might mean something more. She could protect her friends, discover new things, or maybe even deal with the massive problem she personally unleashed on the world.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
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.

Bestial Regeneration
//
You gain the following benefits as long as the Beast benefits from the effects in full, but Mickey's injuries can only be reduced by 1 by this Effect, and heal naturally the rest of the way, leaving visible markings and it works best when you are well fed. You heal half as fast on any level of Hunger. In addition, this effect does not heal Transformation related Injuries or Battle Scars.
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.

Rune of Regeneration
"I Shall Never Falter!"
The Rune of Regeneration is carved into a stone and worn around the neck of the Dragon Slayer, accelerating their recovery from harm and sealing their wounds shut within seconds.
Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Occult at Difficulty 8.
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.
- Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.
Waking Dream Restoration
Just like Shadowsmoke Restoration, the same opaque black substance conceals any visual wounds while it fixes them automatically, but with this it turns into tiny black sandlike grains that fall away from Sage's body when finished, then shrink and fade away. Any internal injury, once heals, the shadowsmoke rises out of her skin, falls as sand, and also shrinks and fades away.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
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.

Satiated by Blood
Bloooooooddddd
When the Vampire's lust for blood is satiated, their injuries heal at a remarkably fast rate and new injuries are quickly stabilized. While healing, the Vampire's skin retains its deathly pale appearance, as any blood he consumes is being used to repair his wounds.

Finally Bonding
“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻.”
Finally, the girls are fusing the way they’ve wanted to since they began Contracting, three and a half years ago. It took Grace’s left eye for them to try this, but the girls are now able to spend a week focusing their energy towards a Battle Scarred area and permanently replacing it with The Spirit’s ghostly flesh. The replaced chunks, eyes, arms, whatever may come, appear just as The Spirit’s: bluish and semi-transparent, but now function just as the respective physical flesh would.
You gain the following benefits at all times.

Cursed to Live
“Don’t be jealous. There are times I wish the wounds wouldn’t heal.”
The Werewolf’s body, long caught in the crossfire between human and beast, has developed a powerful coping mechanism. It draws upon the conflict, healing severe injuries in a matter of days.
