Power Profile: Healing

The hero mends wounds. Healing is rare in Masks; nothing in the genre's structure rewards reliable hit-point recovery, so healing capes are usually narrative miracles. The cost of a healing move is almost always somatic — the hero takes what they took out.

Unleash Your Powers applications: clear a teammate's condition, stabilize a critical NPC, undo a wound. Costs at 7-9: the hero takes the symptoms, the heal not quite holding, a witness. Costs at 6-: the wound reopens, worse, and the hero realizes why nobody trusts healing.
