When activated, Wayne’s pupils dilate sharply as if adjusting to a sudden shift in light. He becomes still as his head tilts slightly, eyes scanning microexpressions and picking out minutiae of tone and detail. To observers, it feels like being under a microscope. His gaze lingers too long. His answers are just a beat off. There’s a sense he's not listening, just decoding.
Somewhere along the way, he fell into a frequency that most dismiss as background noise. Wayne listened, and it speaks to him. People say he's just paranoid.
But he knows the truth: people leak. Not just the secrets they choose to share, but the messages between words. Body language, lunguistic anomalies, eye movements... each part of the lattice. These messages are constant, undeniable, and inescapable.
The only problem is... it can't be turned off...

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.

The whole process takes about fifteen minutes, after which the patient must drink the entire mixture. They are immediately cured.
The proper preparation varies from person to person, so a single batch cannot be used to treat multiple people.

Whenever you cure a disease, poison, or toxin, if it had inflicted any Damage, your target is healed for half that Damage.
