Healing or curing others will increase your empathy, which further strengthens your healing powers but lessens the amount of [[aurawarp]] your offensive abilities inflict against your foes. In contrast, only using your curing powers on yourself will decrease your empathy. The lower your empathy, the more mana it costs to use curing abilities on yourself. To take account of your current amount of empathy, use EMPATHY. | ||

A healer may radiate a health aura, or an aura of any branch of healing they personally know (e.g., sensory or neurosis). Each aura the Healer has raised will cost the Healer a continual drain upon their ego. As your skill in healing progresses, you will find yourself able to radiate multiple auras, eventually up to a maximum of five. | |description = In banishing the mysterious plague which spawned from the depths of the [[Balach Swamp]], the Healers of the [[Basin of Life]] uncovered new arts - learning to radiate powerful healing auras around themselves.

For the duration of anesthesia, he will also be immune to the effects of [[sensitivity]], receive a 2/5 universal damage resistance, and receive some degree of [[aurawarp]].

[[Anesthesia]] cannot be removed by conventional means, it will wear off on its own once sufficient time has passed; but if the patient is cured of seven afflictions before that time has elapsed, the anesthesia will dissipate with a positive charge and, as a result, the Healer will be reimbursed up to half of anesthesia's power cost in active power. Be forewarned, however, that if the patient is not cured of at least one affliction every twelve seconds, either by his own hand or someone else's, the anesthesia will wear off prematurely and without any reimbursement of power for the Healer. | [[Anesthesia]] cannot be removed by conventional means, it will wear off on its own once sufficient time has passed; but if the patient is cured of seven afflictions before that time has elapsed, the anesthesia will dissipate with a positive charge and, as a result, the Healer will be reimbursed up to half of anesthesia's power cost in active power.
