While this skill allows healing oneself, it is also an empathic ability whereby the healer takes the wounds or ailments of another into him or herself. Ailments are generally categorized by type (such as ailments of the nervous system, blood system, etc.) or by humours. Eventually, healers can heal deep wounds of others and even heal from afar. It should be noted that while it takes mana to heal oneself, healing another drains directly from the ego. There is always the danger of the healer suffering burn out, a painful experience that will result in being unable to use the healing skill for a period of time.

Succor

Syntax:
SUCCOR <target>|ME

SUCCOR WOUNDS <target>|ME [SIMPLE]
HEAL <target>
CURE <target> <type of ailment>

This empathic ability simply allows you to diagnose, heal and cure others who are in your location. Please note that the cost for this empathic ability:

  • Healing yourself drains ego.
  • Curing yourself drains mana.
  • Healing others drains health.
  • Curing others drains ego.

WARNING: If your ego drops to 0 or less while administering the cure, your spirit will be damaged and your healing powers will be burnt out for one full Lusternian day.

Additional Notes:
Burnout costs experience, though not as much as a death.

Heal

Syntax:
HEAL

HEAL ME
HEAL <target>

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.

Curing

Syntax:
CURE ME <type of ailment>

You can cure ailments on yourself. The types of ailments that can be cured increases as your skill does. It will always require mana to cure yourself.

Additional Notes:
Curing yourself requires but does not consume balance and equilibrium.

Skin

Auric

Cleansing the aura of negative spiritual tumours will cure one of the following: pacification, aeon curse, peace, powersink, punctured aura, succumb, jinx.

Sacrifice

Syntax:
SACRIFICE FOR <person|ALLIES>
Power: 2 (Any) (for singular sacrifice)

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.

When sacrificing for your allies, all your personal allies in your local area will be affected, whereas when sacrificing for a singular person, you must be in the same location as that person.

NOTE: When you die due to sacrificing for your allies, though not for a singular person, your body will crumble away with your lifeforce, and the vitae defence will be ignored.

Additional Notes:
Same cures as the pennyroyal herb.

Same cures as regeneration salve.

AuraWarp

Syntax:
RADIATE AURAWARP <victim>
Power: 2 (Any)

The most accomplished Healers understand the inner workings of the physical 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. The healer may reproduce the workings of the deadly and mysterious plague that ran rampant through the Basin of Life in year 181 after the Coming of Estarra, though it is - unlike that plague - not contagious and is cureable through simple herbal remedies. Your victim, however, will be unable to cure themself of this plague while in your presence.

Bedevil

Syntax:
RADIATE BEDEVIL <victim>
Power: 4 (Any)

The deadliest and darkest of the debilitating auras, bedeviling a victim will cause new ailments to spring up in the place of cured ones, confounding most of their attempts to treat their sicknesses. A grave malady indeed for anyone devoted to Healing to inflict upon another it is reserved for only the most abominable transgressors. Your victim will be unable to cure themself of bedevilment so long as they are in your presence.
