Arcadia Aura Balancing
Aura Balancing
In addition to Essence Restoration, Arcadia offers Aura Balancing as a part of its spa and massage services. After an initial aura assessment an appointment is made. The treatment is offered as part of a full-day relaxation package, it uses many exotic materials, oils, and rare minerals, and it is available in 3 levels.
A level one Aura Balancing relaxes the recipient and boosts confidence, providing one bonus pool die, and one extra die on the recipient’s social skill rolls.
A level two Aura Balancing provides the previous benefits, but also clears the user's mind, boosting a mental stat of the user's choice by 1, and providing both an additional bonus pool die and an additional die on social skill rolls.
A level three aura balancing can be truly enlightening; boosting a second mental stat by 1, granting a third bonus pool and social skill die, and allowing the recipient to roll 3 additional dice on all healing and recovery tests. Furthermore, during a level 3 Aura Balancing, the recipient may pay 1 good karma to roll an essence test against a target number of 6; success permanently increases the recipient’s Karma Pool by 1.
The effects of Aura Balancing last a number of days equal to 5 x the recipient's essence.

Price*: 5,000¥, 10,000¥, or 20,000¥, Appointment Availability**: Level+7/ Level+ 11 days
*Potential recipients may subtract 10x their white hat score from the price of the treatment.
**Potential recipients add 1/5th of their black hat rating to the availability and time of finding an appointment.

Aztechnology Hemoglobin Augmentation
Using a secret and proprietary process, Aztechnology is able to boost patient's physical performance. The procedure involves sedating the patient and injecting them with a set of special reagents, after which a quantity of blood is removed, taken to a separate area to be augmented, and is then re-administered to the patient. Each level boosts any 2 physical attributes by 1 apiece, and the treatment is available in 3 levels. Aztechnology is concerned with patient wellness and is willing to offer this service on credit. (payment plan 10% minimum payment per month, 10% monthly interest). Rumors persist that a version of this treatment can boost the magic attribute and spellpool, or even grant permanent boosts, but that such a service requires “special materials” and is only available in exchange for significant favors to Aztechnology.
Treatment lasts 14 days

Price: Level*10,000¥ Availability: Always


Renraku Cyber Synchronization
Renraku is currently allowing cyberware-using members of the public to buy into trials of its “Cyber Synchronization” service, a procedure said to enhance the interface between man and machine. The procedure requires general anesthesia, but boosts strength and body by a total number of points equal to 6 – the patient's essence. Deeper treatments somehow provide a similar number of extra dice on spell resistance tests, and the highest level of the treatment provides the Endure perk. It is unknown how this procedure operates, although Renraku does request that patients return regularly to allow the long-term effects of the procedure to be studied.
Effects of treatment last 30- 2x essence days

Price: Level*7,500¥ Availability: 3+2x essence/2 weeks

Langrisser Omnitool Optimization
Most engineers are far too hard on their Omnitools to keep them running at optimal efficiency. Langrisser Omnicorp offers tuneup services that improve the omnitools functionality... at least until the engineer goes and overclocks it again. The Optimization procedure involves a thorough assessment of the Engineer's biology, as well as omnitool software, followed by software and hardware calibration, plus a nanite boost. This temporarily boosts an omnitool's rating by 1, and provides temporary Tech Pool dice equal to twice the omnitool's normal rating; when used, these dice do not refresh, but are gone permanently, when all have been used, the treatment is expended, and the omnitool returns to its normal rating.
The optimization lasts for 30 days or until expended

Price: Omnitool rating x2,000¥ Availability 10
