Shelley Treatment

The Shelley treatment is a procedure that involves a
Revenant being strapped in a chair and being shocked for hours in the hopes
that they develop a secondary Pulse.

## Overview

A high amount of voltage is used during the Shelley
treatment. It also produces an intense amount of pain, and can last for hours.
Six experienced bright and flickering lights during his treatment.

Shelley Treatments are conducted in lab rooms located in the
Gallows. Ten had his second Shelley treatment in lab 12b.

## Procedure

1 milliamp causes a tingling sensation in the head and body.
The fingers seem to crack.

10 milliamps causes skin to stretch painfully. The tongue
squirms. The muscles are still in control and the limbs are moveable. It is
possible for the Revenant to break their own teeth during this stage if they do
not have something to bite down on.

20 milliamps causes the eyes to burn and feel that they are
frozen open. The room begins to blur and colors swirl and flash. The Revenant
will not be able to unclench their fist.

30 milliamps causes muscles to contract. The Revenant cannot
breathe, process information, or move. They are frozen.

50 milliamps causes the heart to quiver. Blood ceases to
pump.

5000 milliamps causes melting.

## Effects

After his second Shelley treatment, Ten was shown to have
signs of severe cabin fever and enough distress to gnaw his fingers off.

 According to Two, Six’s Pulse was purely physical until the
Shelley treatment.

 It is possible that a Revenant can take the Pulse of another
Revenant present in the room or vice versa. This was exemplified when, during
one of Ten’s Shelley treatments, in which Two was present, Branson was hoping
that Ten would be able to take Two’s Pulse or vice versa.

 It is also possible that if a Revenant possesses the Pulse
of a Revenant who gained a second Pulse through the Shelley treatment, the
treatment might succeed. This was shown when Harley believes that, because Ten
has Six’s Pulse, and the treatment worked on Six, the treatment would work on
Ten.

According to Price, a Revenant can become made up of an electrical current and highly conductive if the electrical current pushes them
enough that it disrupts their body.

It seems that if the treatment is successful, the Revenant
will fall unconscious, as shown with Six.

## Trivia

* Ten did not misbehave during his first Shelley treatment. Ten’s first rampage was on his second Shelley Treatment.
* It is possible, as shown with Ten, that the machine used for the Shelley treatment can be broken, which can temporarily short the entire system.
* Branson used more a higher amount of voltage during Six’s Shelley treatment than he had with Ten's, which possibly caused Six’s secondary Pulse.
* According to Price, an ECT machine is no longer used for Shelley treatments.
