Clearly we need to perform some science with custom syndrome reactions.

If these "vital" organs are not actually serving any purpose except to be a source of mortal injury through blood loss, then clearly we need to find ways to remove them safely from our special dwarven friends.

Imagine, an actual use for an otherwise useless plant like valley herb... assign a custom contact syndrome that straight up destroys all the unneeded vital organs, then drop barrels of it on thermonuclear !!Coal bins!!.  The resulting cloud of contact syndrome bliss will transform your juicy meatbag dwarves into killer abominations!

"Gobbo McGoblin thrusts the =<+troll bone spear+>= into the body of Urist McOrganless, piercing the skin! The =<+trollbone spear+>= becomes lodged in the wound! Urist McOrganless punches Gobbo McGoblin in the head, driving the skull through the brain, tearing the brain! Gobbo McGoblin has been struck down!"

Without any organs to tear or cut, the only damage will be to skin and bones!

However, you'd have to keep the lungs, because any lung or throat damage - including syndrome-induced lack of lungs - causes suffocation.

...

Could you make a positive syndrome? like make specific plants heal specific organs/parts?

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

Now, I want a syndrome that makes organs/parts grow back.
Indefinitely.
Even when none was missing in the first place.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Have you no soul? How dare you deprive a dwarf of his greatest possession, his liver! How else is he supposed to drink his booze?
