Why not just jumpstart the sub-genre of body horror by inventing a whole new pseudoscience called psychoplasmic therapy that allows for the fears of divorce, children, and past mental traumas to literally manifest themselves in growths, tumors, little blonde goblin killers, and a mounting body count?
