|skillname = Succor

|syntax = SUCCOR <target{{!}}ME> <br>

|description = This empathic ability simply allows you to diagnose, heal, and cure yourself or others who are in your location. 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.

Please note the costs for this empathic ability:

Healing yourself drains ego.

Curing yourself drains mana and decreases your empathy.

Healing others drains your health and increases your empathy.

Curing others drains ego and increases your empathy.

{{AB

|skillname = Heal

|syntax = HEAL <br>

HEAL ME <br>

HEAL <target>

|description = Using this ability, you may restore loss of health, which will drain your ego. If your ego falls below 0, you will suffer healing burnout. Healing yourself does not cause a loss of empathy, but healing others will increase your empathy.

}}

|skillname = Curing

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> <type of ailment>

|description = You can cure ailments that afflict yourself and others. As your skill in healing increases, you will find yourself increasingly able to specify which ailments to cure, and eventually you will find yourself able to cure multiple ailments simultaneously. When not specifying a type of ailment, you will cure a random ailment from those that you know how to cure, but at a reduced cost. Curing yourself always requires mana and decreases your empathy. As your empathy decreases, the mana cost to cure yourself (but not the mana cost to cure others) will increase. Curing others increases your empathy.

{{AB

|skillname = Sensory

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> SENSORY

|description = Cure ailments of the skin, eyes, and ears, including slickness, ablaze, burns, chills, sensitivity, blindness, and deafness, in that order.

{{AB

|skillname = Auras

|syntax = RADIATE <aura> <br>

|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. 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.

}}

|skillname = Fractures

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> FRACTURES

|description = Knit together fractures of the limbs, head, torso, and even the hyoid bone of the throat in order to cure concussions, damaged skulls, damaged throats, damaged organs, damaged legs, and damaged arms, in that order.

|description = By twisting your patient'as aura just so, he will no longer feel the pains of the physical world. 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. As a patient's aura becomes increasingly warped (and therefore decreasingly stable), it will take him longer to cure himself of afflictions.

|skillname = Neurosis

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> NEUROSIS

|description = Cure many neurotic tendencies, including anorexia, epilepsy, confusion, clumsiness, stupidity, and temporary insanity, in that order.

{{AB

|skillname = DeepHeal

|syntax = DEEPHEAL <target{{!}}ME> <HEAD{{!}}CHEST{{!}}GUT{{!}}LEFT/RIGHT ARM{{!}}LEFT/RIGHT

LEG>

|description = You can heal the body of deep wounds, which are often hidden from sight. In a similar manner to other healing abilities, healing yourself drains ego, and healing others drains your health. There is no empathy loss suffered from healing your own deep wounds, but empathy will be gained from healing the deep wounds of others.

{{AB

|skillname = Bolster

|syntax = BOLSTER <target>

|cost = Power: 2 (Any)

|description = By infusing a patient's aura with your own aural energies, you can protect her physical form from harm such that she will not lose more than 10% of her health from a single blow for a brief period of time. This ability restores empathy, and the Healer cannot use it on her own aura.

}}

|skillname = Sanitise

|syntax = SANITISE <target{{!}}ME>

|description = It is of vital importance in Healing that you maintain sanitary

{{AB

|skillname = Choleric

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> CHOLERIC

|description = Restore imbalances in the choleric humours, curing asthma, vomiting, dysentery, sickening, pox, scabies, or paralysis, in that order, in the process.

{{AB

|skillname = FarHeal

|syntax = FARHEAL <target> [<type of ailment>] (0 Power) <br>

|cost = Power: 0-1 (Any)

|description = As your skill in the healing arts improves, you may now heal or cure others from afar, albeit at a greater cost, so long as they're within your local area. Furthermore, for most cure types you may now also specify two cures when curing or farcuring a patient at a cost of 1 power, effectively curing them of two ailments at once. Finally, you may also deepheal your patient's hidden inner wounds from afar.

}}

|skillname = AuraShift

|syntax = AURASHIFT <aura> <patient> <br>

|description = An accomplished Healer may shift auras from herself onto a patient, thereby transferring her own healing powers to another. The Healer may also attune herself to the unique signature of her own auras, sensing when they dissipate from patients, as well as the auras of their patients, thereby sensing when a patient's aura become destabilized.

Auras radiated onto others will continually restore a small amount of empathy and will also cost less ego.

|skillname = Flay

|syntax = FLAY <target> [<type of ailment>]

|cost = Power: 1 (Any)

|description = Flaying a person's aura will cause an affliction that they currently have to spread, where it will present as a different affliction of the same healing type (e.g., neurosis to neurosis, choleric to choleric) after a brief period of time. Your target will be unaware of exactly when this new affliction manifests, and this process will also cause his aura to warp. <tt>FLAY TARGET</tt> chooses a random affliction to flay, whereas (for instance) <tt>FLAY TARGET NEUROSIS</tt> chooses a random neurosis affliction to flay.

Note: This ability will never afflict a target with the advantageous effect of insomnia.

{{AB

|skillname = Inspirit

|syntax = HEAL <target> INSPIRIT <br>

|cost = Power: 1 (Any)

|description =You may now inspirit your heals or farheals, ensuring that your sacrifice does not go unnoticed. Ten seconds after your target is healed, she will be healed again for half that amount, followed by a quarter of the original amount an additional ten seconds later.

}}

|skillname = Sanguine

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> SANGUINE

|description = Restore the imbalance in the sanguine humours in order to cure haemophilia, burstvessels, relapsing, lacerations of the limbs, and clots, in that order. Curing patients of sanguine afflictions can also be used to ease their excessive bleeding, but be forewarned that doing so will cause your own body to bleed in response.

{{AB

|skillname = Apathy

|syntax = APATHY <ON{{!}}OFF>

|description = By controlling your emotional state, you will no longer regenerate empathy from healing or curing others or naturally over time.

{{AB

|skillname = Phlegmatic

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> PHLEGMATIC

|description = Restore imbalances in the phlegmatic humours. This will cure one of the following ailments: the aeon curse, paralysis, mental transfixation, rigormortis, disloyalty, pacifism, and timewarp, in that order. Note that although this ability affords you the power to cure the mental transfixation of your patients, you will unfortunately find yourself unable to cure anyone while transfixed yourself.

{{AB

|skillname = Quicken

|syntax = RADIATE SPEED

|cost = Power: 2 (Any)

|description = The quickening is a special aura, which cannot be transferred and does not count against the Healer's number of currently raised auras, which vastly increases the efficiency of the Healer in their art. For a short duration, the equilibrium loss caused by any healing will be halved.

}}

|skillname = BendAura

|syntax = BENDAURA <target>

|cost = Power: 2 (Any)

|description = The most accomplished Healers understand the links between the spiritual aura and the inner body to such a degree that their benevolent arts may be turned to a darker purpose in dire times - that of ravaging the internal workings of the mortal coil. By bending a transgressor's aura in on itself, your target will find that curing any affliction causes a random affliction of the same type to spring up in its place shortly thereafter (maximum of 1 new affliction per 5 seconds). Each of these new afflictions will also contribute aurawarp, the amounts of which depend on the current state of your empathy reserves.

Note: This ability will never afflict a target with the advantageous effect of insomnia.

{{AB

|skillname = Serenity

|description = Any time you directly restore health (from heal, farheal, or inspirited heal bursts) to a single targeted individual, she will also be cured of a random affliction.

}}

|skillname = Auric

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> AURIC

|description = Cleansing the aura of negative spiritual tumours will cure the following in this order: the aeon curse, achromaticaura, healthleech, powerspikes, manabarbs, egovice, powersap, or luminosity.

{{AB

|skillname = Invigorate

|description = Any time a patient finds herself cured by you, she will receive a 3/10 bonus to health, mana, and ego regeneration for 30 seconds. Additionally, whenever a patient finds herself healed by you, she will receive a 3/10 boost to universal damage resistance for 30 seconds. These effects do not occur as a result of self-heals, self-cures, or cauterize.

{{AB

|skillname = Projection

|syntax = RADIATE PROJECTION

|cost = Power: 2 (Any)

|description =By projecting your aura outward, you can cure all of your assembled allies of some of their afflictions, the number of which depends on your current skill in healing. If the number of personal enemies in your presence outweighs the number allies in your company, your allies will also find their health renewed.

}}

|skillname = Vitality

|syntax = RADIATE VITALITY

|cost = Power: 5 (Any)

|description = A special aura that cannot be transferred and does not count against the Healer's number of currently raised auras, the vitality aura protects the Healer from the physical backlash caused by absorbing others' wounds into herself. If the Healer overwhelms her ability to absorb wounds, the vitality aura will flare and save the Healer from certain death.

{{AB

|skillname = Attend

|syntax = ATTEND TO <target> <br>

|cost = Power: 2 (Any)

|description = Attend to your patient by linking your aura to hers. While linked, 20% of all healing you do to yourself or others (either through traditional means or your abilities) will propagate directly to your patient. Furthermore, there is a 20% chance that any affliction the patient receives will automatically transfer to your aura, curing the patient but afflicting you in the process. This link restores your empathy, but it will break if you and your patient no longer reside in the same area.

{{AB

|skillname = Sacrifice

|syntax = SACRIFICE FOR <person{{!}}ALLIES>

|cost = Power: 2 (Any) (for singular sacrifice)

|description = In cases of dire need, sometimes a Healer is called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice to save another. You may either choose to sacrifice your own health and well-being for a singular person, in which case you will be severely weakened (or, if you are not healthy enough to begin with, you will die), or for your allies, in which case you will have to give up your life.

{{AB

|skillname = Mania

|syntax = CURE <target{{!}}ME> MANIA

|description = Restore the mind from manic attacks of stupidity, recklessness, hallucinations, addiction, paranoia, asthma, and insomnia, in that order.

}}

{{AB

|skillname = Insanity

|syntax = CURE <target> INSANITY

|description = Your skill in healing in such that you will recover from Astral induced insanity at an increased rate. You may now also siphon some of the Astral induced insanity from your target unto  yourself, but only occasionally.

}}

{{AB

|skillname = Cauterize

|syntax = CAUTERIZE <target>

|cost = Power: 1-5 (Any)<br>

Damage Type: 100% Fire

|description = This controversial ability will cure a patient of ailments by burning away the affected portions of his aura, but the patient is not guaranteed to survive. If the target's aura is completely twisted and he

has at least one spiritual, one mental, and one physical affliction, cauterize will cost 5 power and your target will be slain instantly. If the target's aura is already dangerously unraveled, the target will be

slain instantly regardless of the afflictions he currently possesses. If, however, the target's aura is not completely twisted, or if the target lacks the necessary suite of afflictions, cauterize deals fire damage to the target, cures him of 1 random affliction, and induces aurawarp at a cost of 1 power.

}}

|skillname = Draw

|syntax = DRAW AFFLICTIONS <target> <br>

|cost = Power: 1 (same room) - 2 (same area) (Any)

|description = As though drawing poison from a wound, you will transfer 3 afflictions at top of the cure queue from your target to yourself. Alternatively, you can specify three types of ailments to siphon. Because of your awe-inspiring command of the healing arts, there is a 50% chance that an additional affliction will be cured from your target outright. This skill restores massive amounts of empathy, and it cannot be forced.

Note: This ability will automatically ignore the advantageous effects of insomnia, blindness, and deafness on your patients.

|skillname = Bedevil

|syntax = BEDEVIL <target>

|description = Desperate times call for desperate measures, and so at the cost of mana, a Healer may randomly transfer 2 of her current afflictions to a target. Each affliction also contributes aurawarp to the target's aura, the amount of which depends on the current state of the Healer's empathy. So long as the Healer remains awake and not stunned, she will be able to make use of this powerful ability.

Note: This ability will automatically ignore the advantageous effects of insomnia, blindness, and deafness.
