• If affecting the fingers, the entirety of the fingers may be affected, but the effect cannot spread to the rest of the hand or arm.
• When submitting a refsheet for a grem with this trait for approval, please still provide a diagram of the grem's hand to show the blood colors.
• Affected traits cannot completely disappear or become completely invisible. There must still be a hint of the affected trait area that is visible. (Whether it be via outline, or lowered transparency.) (Please use the examples below as a visual guide for how this trait appears on affected areas.)
• Bones, organs, or other internals are NOT visible through this trait. The entire area will become transparent. (Please see examples below for reference.)
• Changing the fade-coverage or affected traits is considered cosmetic and does not require another trait application to change it.
