**Ambergris** is Tozzi Egress's modification featured in Muskrat Ramble (part 6) to MAUSOLEUM (part 9).

## Statistics

### Statistic Explanations

#### Attack Stat:

This is determined because of Ambergris's inability to deal damage. A strictly healing modification, Ambergris cannot harm another by any means- it will only heal. While Tozzi could instruct it to "heal" but heal incorrectly (connect wrong nerves, veins, heal inadequately or incompletely), this is the only way it would be able to harm another. For this reason, attack and special attack both are given 1 (very low).

##### Defense Stat:

Ambergris cannot per se defend against an attack. While it is able to instantaneously heal an injury dealt by an attack on Tozzi or another within his range, it cannot defend against the attack itself, only resolve the consequences. It has the potential to erase any damage made by a purely attack using modification, it cannot defend against any other type of attack (that does not inflict physical damage or has a condition that counteracts Ambergris). Because of this variance, a 5 (medium) is given on both defense and special defense.

##### Speed Stat:

The speed stat is defined as "speed of motion or execution of effect". Ambergris's healing speed can be controlled by Tozzi and can be set anywhere from an extremely slow recovery (even slower than the natural speed) to an instantaneous recovery. This "instantaneous recovery" results in the 10 (very high) speed stat though it can be altered.

##### Range Stat:

Tozzi must be in skin contact with the being he wishes to heal. Ambergris does not activate through clothing or another obstructive material, making its range very limited. However, this is a natural exchange for the instantaneous recovery Ambergris poses. Because of the skin contact requirement, the range stat is given a 2 (very low).

##### Potency Stat (Personal):

Ambergris's personal stat is potency, referring to the ability it has to heal. The 10 (very high) it is given indicates that the modification is able to fully heal an injury of any magnitude and any form in, if Tozzi wishes, less than a millisecond. While it does not apply to illnesses, the potency stat is given the highest number.

## Trivia

* Named by Shiva after examination on Tozzi's nonfunctional hand (18 years) and discovery of his modification.
* The original modification- according to Pjetner, Sunny was supposed to be modified with Ambergris but this was changed when Muskrat Ramble was created.
* Was previously intended to heal illnesses but an editor didn't like the idea so it was changed to physical injuries.
