### **Spirit Bandages**

**Effect:** Allows the user to temporarily ignore damage, disease, poisons, and toxins.

* **Dice Pool:** [ Animancy-Necromancy + Medicine + Permanent Taint ]
* **Opposed:** [ Resolve + Composure ]

**Description:** Allows the user to suspend bodily damage from bleed-out, disease, drugs, chemicals, and poison. The patient must be alive, even if hanging by a thin thread. Once the patient has died, it would transcend healing and would require Resurrection instead.

Spirit Bandage does not heal off damage in the typical sense, it leaves behind a structure to replace the missing flesh, bind damaged areas, and suspend flowing toxins. This is a quick fix to an immediate problem as these "spiritual bandages" must be removed for the target to begin any type of healing.

Unfortunately, there comes a point when removing the bandages would immediately kill the patient. If it's certain the character has reached this point, where damage would roll over to full Aggravated, then the character's life becomes completely dependent on user.

The patient's health will be reset with a new stipulation... they can never heal aggravated again, and they will take an aggravated damage each day they're not "re-bandaged". Using this power after that point simply heals lethal marks.

**Note:** User's with extremely high healing-factor may be able to survive removing the bandages after full aggravated.
