Appearance: The caladrius is a magnificent, all-white bird somewhat resembling a heron (but with shorter legs and beak). It has a long, gracefully curving neck and a short, slightly downward-curving beak.
If anyone is ill, the caladrius will tell whether the patient will live or die.
— Pierre de Beauvais
A caladrius is a mystical bird much sought by royal households. It can determine whether a sick person will live or die. If the patient is to die, the caladrius sadly turns away from him, but if he is to live, it gazes deeply into his eyes, drawing the sickness into itself. It then flies away toward the sun, going so high that the sun's rays burn away the disease (but they do not harm the caladrius itself).
A caladrius will not absorb a terminal illness (its Lesser Immunity would not protect it), but it will gladly heal any lesser ailment. It can heal either spontaneous diseases, which result from aging crises or diseases due to an external cause. As long as the crisis is not terminal or the disease does not cause a Lethal Wound, a caladrius can cure it. It can only heal wounds caused by disease, not those resulting from poison, combat, or other causes. It cannot remove Decrepitude.

For example, you may add your score in Vim Resistance to rolls to resist Agitation and to your soak total against damage inflicted by your own magical powers.
Like Form bonuses for magi, this also increases a magic character’s Magic Resistance against spells of that Form, but this is only compatible with Magic Might; it does not stack with the Parma Magica.
Specialties: a single source of damage inflicted by that Form. (Supernatural)
The character is not affected by the negative effects of The Gift or Magical Air in others. Even a Blatant Gift does not especially bother the character.
