Nano-machine circulate throughout the system of Berndt. He command the skin of his arm to come off so that he can use the nano-machines layered in between to enhance something.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Nano-machines peel of the skin of Berndts arm. The skin engulfs the item and after the process is done crawls back on the arm in a disgusting fashion..
Jimson Shivers' transformation has begun. The element of cold that he seeks to channel is pushing itself to the surface. His palms are cold to the touch. It is a cold he knows he can spread. If he so desires, he can. The skin on his hand peels back. Slowly. Intentionally. Sensing his desire to help. Whatever he touches next, the Ice on his hands almost infects it. Causing massive crystalline growth all over it. Beautiful blue Ice shapes itself around whatever he makes contact with, turning it into a sculpted, beautiful version of itself. The ice totally encapsulates whatever he touches, leaving no surface on the item left unmarred.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see As Jimson places his hands on the object he wishes to Imbue, the skin on his palms slowly peels peels back, revealing that beneath his skin, there is nothing but ice.
With his mythical ability he has been granted to pass on the power to items so that he may use them to help himself, slicing his hand open and rubbing his blood across the item turns the weapon both better and more in tune with his god, the gun smelling like rotten flesh, it bubble grows on the weapon and pops despite its metallic appearance, and the occasional drop of blood from it. The guns insides are now a meaty and strong improvement that have replaced its parts and will survive for a while like a parasite to the item but will soon die out and make the weapon worse then before.

They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on the same patient.

The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting.
