For everyone except the target, there is no visual component to this gift. For the target, however, they will watch as reality begins to crack, the fissures emanating from the user (or the user's method of communication). The cracks encompass everything that the target is able to see, before quickly shattering, revealing a lively cosmos underneath the world. Looking around, the target will be able to identify that they are in an altered version of our familiar solar system. The planets are closer together, bridges that span miles of empty space connect distant celestial bodies, lights line every planet in the system, spaceships navigate through the depths, unfathomably large superstructures dot the horizon, and the stars shine brighter than they ever have before. In this sight, humanities indomitable will and the true beauty of the cosmos are revealed to the target. The target spends hours here, watching an idealized version of the world revolve as the user's disembodied voice talks to them about their traumas. As the session comes to a close and the user makes the roll to determine the outcome of this therapy, the paths diverge.
If the roll succeeds:
The sun grows, becoming brighter, and brighter, and brighter, until it bursts. The sun goes supernova. Light begins to consume everything around the target, burning up the world that they just spent hours observing. Humanity screams as the supernova erases them, and the target is powerless to make it stop. The light blinds the target, engulfing them. When their vision returns, they will find themselves where they were when the cracks first emerged, feeling lighter.
If the roll fails:
The sun runs cold, and the universe follows suit. Where once there was a bustling universe, there now sits a lifeless corpse. The target stays there for a moment, before the darkness becomes too overbearing to remain. The target opens their eyes, and finds themselves where they were, their traumas still plaguing them.

Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living target at any distance, provided you are able to communicate. You cannot target yourself. Over the course of one day, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired. After the full treatment time has elapsed, roll Charisma + Occult at Difficulty 6.
Your target may Resist. If your treatment is successful, you may remove one of the patient's revealed Traumas without incurring any Experience cost.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the end of humanity as the sun either goes supernova, or runs cold.

You give the patient an 'examination', which mostly consists of making thinly-veiled innuendos and telling them that they're fine, actually. A *biiig, strong* contractor like them wouldn't let a little gunshot wound to the abdomen slow them down, would they?
There's also some magical particle effects. Hearts and sparkles and stuff. You get it.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.

Your patient is required to not accept medical treatments or diagnoses from any sources but you for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.

The Viper prototype can charge plasma collected from the interior blood turbines with Tillinghast radiation. This material can be injected into an injured subject, where the proto-plasma then seeks & replaces damaged tissue - becoming whatever is required. The injection of T radiation can cause confusion with higher planes, which can erode the sanity of the weak mined.

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.
