A thermos of soup made with special ingredients from creatures with high immunity and resistence to illnesses. The meal melts into the body after ingesting it, before you will feel its cleansing effect, though it does exhaust the body due to enhancing the speed of your immune system

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.
You may treat Alien maladies and curses. If there is some method to cure them, you learn what it is. If the malady does not provide its own means of curing it, it is cured.

(Whenever you would come across a standalone light at least the size of a torch, roll Self-Control in order to resist following it, entranced by the pretty light. Fire/light created by this Gift do not trigger this maddening) and Ornithophobia - You fear those eyes in the sky, and for good reason! (Whenever you would encounter a bird, roll Self-Control or be forced into fight or flight).
Shane rams his flag into the ground and loudly exclaims that "no secret shall be kept secret" at which point a turqoise aura emanates from the flagpole in all directions, creeping into locking mechanisms and like thousands of small picks open them up from the insides.

Flesh rips and tears, parting with bare handed ferocity as the limbs or flesh are pulled apart and messily slammed in place. The recipient is whole and unscarred once the blood is wiped away.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Brawn+Melee at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them.

The Scepter of Ang-Kapal is a gruesome device fashioned to look like a skeletal arm clutching a glass eye. When used, blood from the person holding is drawn into the eye where it swirls with dark energy. The eye turns to a nearby corpse and shudders, reviving the creature. The creature does not retain any of its memories or personality, but it is absolutely loyal to whoever is holding the scepter.
