Astraeus touches a person afflicted with poison or disease, the target and himself feeling a strange warmth connecting them as Astraeus experiences searing pain all over his body equal to the pain the target has felt due to the ailment. When used on himself, he feels tiny prickles all over his skin.
After being inflicted with cancer during a contract, the gift Astraeus obtained from that contract gave him the ability to cure diseases and poisons.
Take a Severity-1 Injury, spend 1 minute, and use up this glowing white-yellow marble. Select a Living target within arm's reach.
You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting your target even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it. You may cure diseases or poisons even if they are not treatable through modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional Damage or other effects.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.

The charm itself melds into the target's body, sinking into flesh like melted wax. Their wound squirms and wriggles in unnatural ways, the flesh seemingly mending itself in violent waves, afterwards the target gags as their old flesh emerges from their mouth, taking form whilst screaming in anguish as it claws it's way out until it ultimately falls to the ground lifeless...
Metaphysics: Basically what's going on is the old flesh and the injured area is literally just being removed, liquidized and turned into a semi-sentient blob of mass animated by magic, and the injured area is being replaced with brand new flesh, bone, sinew, veins etc that seamlessly connect to the rest of the target's body. The blob of mass dies shortly after it leaves the body as there is no longer magic to animate it and just becomes a pile of blood and viscera, though if dna tested it will match the target's dna for obvious reasons, so if you're doing something secretive make sure to clean up afterwards :P
it's like a furball, but flesh >:3 mreowhahahaha
Spend 2 Actions and use up this alabaster charm that houses a complex sigil in it's center. Select a Living or Dead target within arm's reach. Your target must also Exert their Mind to activate this Effect. Roll 7 dice at Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
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. Your patient is required to not use any gift that would affect or modify the area of injury, i.e. transformation, augmentation, or other healing gifts that would affect the target area. (Excluding mental) for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
If you begin healing an Injury on a target that has been dead for less than a minute, and your healing reduces their Wound Level to a non-lethal level, their life is restored.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the viscera, flesh, and bone begin to bubble and squirm, animated with a life of it's own. Once it's movement ceases, the target retches and gasps, a mound of the same crimson-colored gore reaching out of their throat, crawling it's way towards fresh air, while emitting a high pitched shrieking until it finally collapses itself.
The CatEye is an innovation from Silverwolf's R&D department that supports SILVERHOUND's covert operations by providing reliable, concealed short range recon, both auditory and visual. This extremely thin disk-shaped camera can attach to any solid surface, and uses cutting edge optical camouflage to match the color and texture of its surroundings, making it near impossible to identify unless one knows what to look for. It can then record and broadcast its field of view to a synced up Silverwolf PDA hooked up to the company's closed network.
Spend an Action and use up this covert button camera. Select a Location within 10 feet. You must remain within 1000 feet of your ward to access its senses.

You may declare a condition to watch for on an active Ward. If it occurs, you may roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 6, to notice it, even if you are not actively monitoring that ward.
Your Ward records all activity it observes, regardless of whether or not you are actively monitoring it. This recording can be played back and referenced later.
Ana has learned to craft small orbs filled with a silver, mercurial liquid. When thrown against a solid surface the orb shatters and releases a cloud of smoke that obscures the user for a brief time. The user (if seen) appears to be distorted shadow for the duration.

You are obscured in one of the following manners. Lasts 30 minutes.

When activated, the coin will dissappear
Use up this coin and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within 45 feet. Roll Brawn + Brawl Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling Body, Difficulty 6.
If the contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much damage plus 1. Armor is fully effective against this damage.
When you activate this Effect, instead of occurring immediately, you may choose to delay its effects until the target takes a particular Action. For example: "when they fire a gun" or "when they swim in deep water."
After consuming the tainted food or drink, the target transforms into a llama!
Use up this vial of extract of llama and spend an Action to turn food or drink into a trap. This trap lasts until triggered or disarmed. Roll 11 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
The trap looks like food or drink. Only those who have seen this trap before can identify it as a trap. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid, trigger, or destroy it.
Any Living target within within arm's reach that uses the trap as food or drink will trigger it. The target may roll Body, -2 dice at Difficulty 7, as a Free Action to resist.
If you succeed, the target receives two new Battle Scars 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.

The Battle Scars you inflict manifest over the course of the next minute.
The user places this slip of paper from the mystic against their head, speaks the inscribed phrase, and envisions a time they wished they were alone. the paper bursts into a shockwave that pushes a nearby being away. The repulsion field can be maintained for several seconds by meditating on the nature of solitude.
Spend an Action and use up this paper with mysterious calligraphy. Select a Animate target up to 100 feet away.
Targets are pushed back until they are 100 feet away.
This Effect cannot move anything heavier than 500 pounds.
Affected targets may use a Reaction and roll Dexterity or Brawn + Athletics to hold on to a nearby anchor, if available. A complete success increases their effective weight by whatever they hold onto.
Pushing a target straight upward requires you to be directly beneath them and halves the range. GM’s may ask for a Dexterity + Athletics roll when repositioning yourself around a target to get a desired angle. They may React to reposition or anchor themselves as normal.
You may maintain Concentration after the initial activation of this Effect to continue the push on the target. Lasts up to one minute.
The mad scientist produces thorium cores that can be used to upgrade tools and other devices. The core supercharges the item, increasing its quality and rendering it indestructible for a period. However, once the core runs dry, the object is rendered less useful than it was before. The core crackles with blue electricity while active.
Spend 1 Action and use up this glowing blue disk. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. Cannot be used to improve Armor.
Lasts the next two hours. Your target receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +2 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.
After the Effect ends, any upgraded targets suffer a -2 dice penalty until they are either repaired or upgraded again.
The hacker is capable of crafting bottles of nanites. When poured on a broken object, the nanites go to work restoring it to a functioning state. The goop shimmers and crawls, sparking with blue electricity as it reforms broken parts.

If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target.
The Future Soldier learned to create foam grenades in their own time period, and they still can, kinda. They look like glowing orange capsules with a rugged rubberized grip. When thrown, they burst into a splash of expanding neon orange foam. The foam hardens in seconds, severely hampering the movement of anyone unlucky enough to have been splashed. Those affected may use their hands or weapons to hack away at the foam and free themselves.
Occasionally, the fuses on these bootleg grenades fails, and they go off immediately.
Spend an Action and use up this small metallic grenade with pin (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Make a thrown Attack at a Location within normal Attack range. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you are hit as it activates immediately at your present location. The target may roll to dodge or Defend, as normal for thrown Attacks. The Attack itself does not deal any Damage beyond the Effect.
If you succeed, all affected targets will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They can still move their arms and use Effects, but are reduced to ¼ of their movement speed.
The binding around a target must be destroyed in order for them to break free. Breaking the binding requires a total amount of Damage equal to twice the original Contested Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
