Dryad's Caress

An unassuming bracelet worn around the left wrist, with a single Hearthstone slot. When activated, white bone slivers emerge and wrap around the user's hand, giving them needle-fine claws. These claws are worthless for combat as they are exceedlingly frail, though they can easily rend flesh. Their primary use is in battlefield surgery, where time becomes more crucial than delicacy. Any Medicine roll made using the aid of Dryad's Caress converts the wearer's Medicine rating into automatic successes, and reduces the difficulty of curing magical diseases by the wearer's Essence rating, to a minimum of one.

Additionally, if a Wood-aspected Hearthstone of any level is set into the bracelet, the wearer is able to restore health levels to a patient. After a successful medicine roll, difficulty equal to the current wound penalty of the patient, the wearer may restore up to (successes) health levels in the patient, at a cost of 2 motes and 1 success per Lethal or Bashing, and 4 motes and 2 successes per Aggravated. The Hearthstone's power and Essence regeneration capabilities continues to function if set in this manor, but this healing abilities doesn't if no Hearthstone is set. In theory, version of Dryad's Caress made of different materials may work with different aspects (obviously, the aspect would need to match - Fire with Red Jade, Solar with Orichalcum, etc.), but their extra effect would no doubt be different.
