As a crustpunk alcoholic, Jude likes to turn his discarded bottles upside down and let what's left drip into the caps before consolidating it all into one flask that's had "The Dregs" etched into it. Grime has collected on the outer shell and within the many scratches it's gotten over the years- it isn't high quality plastic, after all, but it's good enough. The flavor is like Everclear that hates you even more than usual, with some sort of moldy aftertaste. Something about the consistency refuses to let you cough it back up, but the regret probably won't last long anyway; Jude was true to his word, and you feel great.
Use up this A sticky, dark green plastic flask with "The Dregs" scratched into it (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action.
You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations. Lasts 2 hours.

While actively being collected in preparation for the usage of this gift, the blood in physical contact with the user darkens as it coalesces into black, ever-shifting glyphs which get drawn to and absorbed by the user's skin, be it their hands or mouth. All blood within the same pool gets drawn to the point of contact as the gift is being used, with the draw being stronger the closer it is to the user.
When the gift is used, a dark blur with ever-shifting glyphs visible within quickly spreads across the user's body before dissipating. It lingers around injured areas for a moment longer, exhibiting a crimson sheen.
The wound of the source from where the blood being used had originated from darkens, with the edges getting surrounded by equally-black, unknown, intertwined glyphs. While the imprint normally fades away completely within hours, it may instead remain for longer, up to a week, in proportion to how fiercely the source opposed the gift's usage on them. (lack of sapience or awareness at the time of gift usage results in the normal hour-or-so fadeaway time)
The parts of the gift user's flesh which interacted with the source's blood in order to activate the gift are graced with a black imprint which fades away over time, aforementioned glyphs at the edges included. The fadeaway is linked to the fadeaway of the imprint on the source.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must use up at least a handful of fresh, foreign blood absorbed either through the hands or mouth in order to activate this Effect.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0. Lasts three hours.
