Abilities and Powers

Just as there is no such thing as luck powers in worm, there are no healing powers, rather they are an 'extension of another ability with a different focus'<ref name="29.7">Venom 29.7</ref>. Thus can Scapegoat 'sort-of' heal people by working on a quantum level<ref name="19.2"/>.

Scapegoat's power allows him to dig through potential realities to find uninjured versions of the person he is working on and then patch them together. This removes the person's injuries though the effect is weaker if the person fights it and can be broken if they are subjected to any severe impacts or injuries in one to six hours following the procedure. In addition, once he uses his power, he takes on the injuries of the person he's 'healing'<ref name="19.2">Scourge 19.2</ref>.

His power has an offense application<ref name="SV1">Comment by Wildbow on Sufficient Velocity</ref>, where he can 'unload' the accumulated damage, with similar conditions for if he had 'healed' that person. Though he can 'lock' the transfer in place to keep the Dante from snapping back to him<ref name="playtest">Playtest Capes</ref><ref name="19.5">Scourge 19.5</ref>.
