Omission Walk it off, you'll be fineee...
People always keep whining and complaining and crying over their injuries. "My leg!" "I can't feel my hands!" "My fingers, oh God!"
Get a grip! Jeez...
Anyways, I've been thinking of uh just... I can show em my credentials, I give em the typical assurances, and then I just. Tell em! Spout out some medical jargon and bullcrap and tell em that it'll heal in just a sec!
And it does! Injuries seem to have never happened in the first place! One moment it was broken, the next... poof! Like magic. Was your arm even broken in the first place? I mean. It seems to work just fine. You can feel your limbs working, you can stretch your fingers normally. It feels fine... but something feels off.
Don't question it. Don't wonder how it works. Don't ask why it works. Just believe in that beautiful lie.
Don't let the doubt fester. Don't lie, yourself. Honesty is the best policy, and it's easier to believe in a lie when you trust what you say to be true. Otherwise, the illusion will shatter.
Uhhh we gaslight reality itself, basically.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use a Business Card to activate this Effect. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Select up to four Battle Scars on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scars heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
Your patient is required to not tell a direct lie (i.e. lying by omission and technical truths are fine) for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
- The patient is aware of the after-care requirement.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Sow the Seeds
and grow again
Nari can heal the damage, but it is still apparent that something happened. Nari must be touching the area that they are going to repair for it to work. What is being healed glows for a few moments, then healing process begins. It takes over an hour for the body to repair itself, but this happens on its own. Nari is not needed to be around for the process to finish.
However, once it is done, the body does not return to before. If a limb is lost and regrown, there will be markings on the skin akin to scars. If skin was burned, it will grow back, but be discolored. There is no more pain or damage, though.

Surgeons of Peace
In the name of peace, our scars will be healed and our futures renewed.
Baldric grabs a ball of steel weighing no less than 10 grams, crushing it in his palm a glowing brilliant light emits from between his fingers before the metal transform into ethereal surgical tools that work to repair the target. Missing body parts are sewn into existence as they painlessly integrate back into the target. Special care is taken with nervous systems as the tools shrink and multiple to work in tandem with each other.
The tools created from this effect are visible as ghostly tools made of the essence of the steel bead that is consumed in the activation of this power. While the gift does not have traumatizing, the idea of being healed by many small surgical tools can be concerning to some. One over the idea of it, the procedure is in fact painless and can even feel nice and tingly.
