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.
As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.
Once an Injury has been reduced in Severity by two levels, it no longer benefits from this effect and instead heals as normal.
An object brandishing these neuron-like engravings infuses the wearer with a magical energy that let's them stay mentally active for 24 hours a day. The user can also decide to put themselves into a sleep-like full body stasis, making them independent from any need for resources, while keeping their mind awake.
If you want to study faster, 30% more waking hours are a very efficient way to do it.

A hit like that would leave any other to bleed out and die, helpless if not for medical aid. But you’re not betting anymore on whether your comrades can save you. Lady Luck’s favour extends… somewhat. That hit? Not as bad as it could have been. You lucky bastard. That wound had definitely taken your foot off, but it’s seemingly healed on its own.
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.
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.
