The power given to you, as revealed by the FSM, is that you can stop a condition getting worse, hopefully allowing the body to recover. So, for instance, you can’t magically instantly fix a broken bone, but a cancerous growth will stop growing and won’t spread. All you have to do is touch the person. What do you do?
