Limits[]
Nisha, Alex, Alicia, Collin and Katie are all capable of enabling themselves to heal whenever they want it to happen. Any type of injury can be healed, as long as they are conscious at the time. It is also possible to heal ageing and different diseases, and to use the ability to recover memories or to remove the effects of different drugs. The ability gives more control than rapid cellular regeneration, and means that the healing could be blocked if it would betray them, but it also means that it will not activate reflexively, and may not save them in certain circumstances such as if they have been knocked unconscious first, or hurt too extremely and quickly. For the three empaths, the ability is over-ruled by the regeneration which they have already absorbed, meaning that it normally would not be used. However, it could be used if the regeneration in particular is blocked.
