<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Ezra: fair enough. One second.

*kneels down, and says a minor prayer. Shortly after, holy sigils appear in the snow around us*

Anything under the demon's influence can no longer reach is, inside of this circle.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How do those operate?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

What do you mean “how”?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*as you walk, you notice the air gets foggy, seemingly somewhat wet*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

The serums. By what mechanism do they boost a body's healing rate?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

The most efficient and self-regulating way. Accelerating cell growth and promoting growth in areas the body otherwise can’t really do on its own.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Chemically? Magically?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Definitely not magically. I’m not well versed enough to work with it. It’s chemical.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Does it increase risk of other diseases?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not at all, actually. It was an issue a long time ago, but I improved upon it starting from a foundation that was already near perfect.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I see, how interesting. Is it generic for various species?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I only have perfected it for humans and those similar.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I'm surprised that there's a chemical solution that works on that level. What about stamina? Does it consume a lot of their energy reserves?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It’s designed to help, but admittedly does rely on some energy from the user though. It’s typically not an issue I run into when using it since I typically use quick-and-easy solutions like that on Tier Fours which tend to have some semblance of power surplus.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Fair point. That is quite impressive.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Oh,
*blushes mildly and waves my hand*
Stop it. Most of the work was done for me. Actually by one of my best mentors.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It is; avoiding those side effects is no easy task. Who was the mentor?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Old fart called Dr. Briz. Took my fundamental—to-intermediate knowledge of science and mechanics and just made me exponentially better when I was a child.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Ah, the mad scientist type?
