Techniques for Eleanor's ressurection, one from the Spec. Hollow Techniques (the new Albedo variant), one from the Free Choice Super Box (the new Citrinitas Variant). As before with her VL bonus release tech, these will mirror her original techs but be fully independent abilities sharing a name.
I'll also be re-labeling her prior techniques. Her original her current profile's Nigredo, Albedo and Citrinitas will be labeled with (Sol), while the VL bonus technique Nigredo will become a (Luna). Also, the VL, Hollow Tech and Super Box techs all have the proviso that they can be used outside of Res. I would greatly appreciate if this trait was sacrificed on them and placed on their counterparts (so the Sol abilities can be used outside of Res, but the Luna abilities require it).

Name: Albedo (Luna)
Class: Ressurection (Advanced)
Tier: II-VII
Type: Supplementary + Healing / Poison
Range: Self/50m
Description: Eleanor's supernatural body is, among other things, a living Athanor: a metaphysical furnace that sears away imperfections and refines the rest. Impurities are dealt with swiftly and brutally.
When activated on herself, Eleanor "digests" effects on herself that she finds undesirable (this need not be an actual negative effect) that are powered by reiryoku or reishi (ie. techs). The effect must be matched by tier (so she couldn't break a tier V effect with a Tier IV, but tier V, VI or VII would do). The energy degrades into a charged reiryoku that rapidly solidifies into a silvery solid substance small enough to fit into the palm. If this item is later smashed, broken or otherwise unleashed against a valid target, it takes effect on them/it as if they were the original victim/beneficiary.
When activating Albedo (Luna) on others, Eleanor may either utilize a restrained or unrestrained version. The restrained version operates the same as above. The unrestrained variant lets its power out without discrimination, setting their reiryoku ablaze in destructive form. This serves as a damage-over-time effect (although it is more curse than actual poison; it bears no biological component at all). The damage per post cycle is as one would expect based on tier. Rather than using reiryoku bursting, restraining any non-passive use reiryoku weakens this effect. After a number of post cycles of this equal to the effect's tier divided by two (rounded up), it vanishes.
Name: Citrinitas (Luna)
Class: Ressurection (Advanced)
Tier: III-VII
Type: Supplementary + Healing
Range: 100m (Radius)
Description: Alchemy's goal of immortality demanded a deep and intimate knowledge of blood, flesh and bone. They weaved living tissue together in complex operations to fashion artificial life, which culminated in the creation of Homonculi. Eleanor's arts now encompass this skill.
Mirroring Citrinitas (Sol), this technique allows Eleanor to change the shape of biological matter, the exact details vary depending on whether she is creating the material from scratch or altering existing tissue. As with Citrinitas (Sol), this is a mode that persists for (10-tier) post cycles.
(Existing Matter): When working with existing biological matter, sapient targets must be willing. Eleanor can reshape and transform tissue, provided she has a sample of what she is transforming it into with Nigredo (Sol). When used to patch wounds and the like, this is treated by the usual release healing rules (which is to say, an equivalent Healing mastery level equal to one higher than her Ressurection, capped at Mastered healing). If she uses it to modify a body to be more dangerous or durable (claws, skin with heavy carbon overlays or the like), their potential is capped by this technique's tier (ie. bio-armored skin's durability is that of Citrinitas (Luna)'s tier, any weapon-like reshaping similarly, and any augmentation can only be as good as permitted by normal augmentation tier caps). Modifications don't last beyond a thread, although restored body parts obviously do. Changes that spit in the face of conventional biology are possible, thanks to the built in magic of the changes. Eleanor cannot accidentally hurt someone with this. Due to a quirk in the alchemic process, Eleanor can't directly augment the durability of living tissue. At best, she can add protective bio-matter on top, but that's more a set of unusual armor than anything else.
(Homunculi): Alchemically generated lifeforms, Homunculi are powerful servants to those capable of fashioning them. They are utterly loyal to their creator, durable, strong, and frighteningly difficult to kill. Homouculi can be as large as 50x50x50 meters, but Eleanor usually sticks to human-scale creations. Awareness among homunculi similarly varies. They can understand fairly complicated commands, but most are not truly self aware. To do that, Eleanor either needs to perform lengthy rituals to imbue it, or insert a soul of some kind (a mod soul pill would be able to use an empty homunculus body, or Eleanor could use her Animus Nova technique to provide one for the vessel). Regardless, a homunculus is as durable and strong as their tier would indicate. If they are tier IV or above, they reconstruct damage as with High Speed Regeneration. If they are tier V or above, they are capable of hyperkinetic movement as with a stepping technique. Homunculi of any tier can be made visible to humans, if Eleanor designs them that way. Finally, a homunculus may persist as long as their body is not destroyed, but their battle capability is much more limited. To be able to actually fight and use their supernatural properties, they must have been infused with Eleanor's reiryoku recently (ie. the technique has to be reused on them to power them up). Their energy lasts depending on their tier (10-tier post cycles, the normal cap).
As with the other techniques, Eleanor needs both reiryoku and quintessence to power these abilities (quite a bit, in the case of hommonculi).
