Dr. [Name] doesn’t heal wounds so much as excavate them—digging through memory and nerve, peeling back scar tissue like pages in a patient file. It's not kindness. It's clarity. Pain makes the truth plain.
As the Doctor rests a hand on the target and locks eyes, her pupils dilate into spirals—surgical black, endlessly deep.
“Look at me,” she says, voice steady. “Start at sixty. Count backward.”
The world around the patient starts to blur and dim. Their body trembles as it snaps backward—visibly reverting in real time to the exact state it was in during their most recent trauma. The injury reopens for a brief moment, pain flooding their senses—until the damage reverses entirely, taking the scar with it.
All the while, the Doctor never blinks.
The Doctor does not believe in clean healing. To her, every scar is a lie the body tells to pretend it survived gracefully. Her therapy unravels that fiction. The patient is dragged to the moment it all went wrong—forced to relive it in perfect clarity, while their body regresses to that exact point in time.
It’s not anesthesia. It’s exposure.
Some wake up sobbing. Others don’t remember the count ever starting.
She says it’s progress.

EzFake is an app that appears on any cell phone the influencer holds as long as they are holding it.

It may be an object, a creature, or even a specific person, and they can speak and make sounds as well.

It can be perceived by people through their smell, hearing, and sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You may create a replica of a specific being or Object, though it is still limited by what you do or do not know about the subject.
Anyone who touches the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion and can choose to perceive it or not at will.
The illusion will remain fixed to its initial target, and can only change locations if the initial target is mobile in some way. It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.

See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.
