FluffyFaeCat So what all would Naoki have for the first bit of Pod's dungeon?

Things I need to know before properly entering: that.

Knowledge of herbal medicine, how to treat illness/injury without magic, and how to use magic to heal

Also tattoos. Healers get tattoos of ivy up their arms. How far up determines rank. Naoki's would be either a high ranked journeyman or a newly minted healer

He's welcome to keep the magic and/or knowledge

nice

glowy green healing hands!

human healers are a bluish green. beast healers are green like new plants.

all healers have to go into a bit of a trance and concentrate. a glowing haze forms around their hands and they lay them over the wound to be healed. It does take energy! A small healing isn't taxing, a big healing will leave the healer exhausted, and a healer could force a healing until it literally drained their life away if they were literally desperate

(it's generally considered a bad idea to do a healing that takes so much energy it's in danger of killing you)

healings in Pod's world are more like accelerating the process. So it tends to hurt, kind of like all the pain of the natural process has been compressed into the few moments. (but it's generally considered worth it. A broken arm could lay up someone for months, but with a healer it's fixed in a matter of minutes)

(dragons are special, and their healing is both stronger, and just feels pleasantly cool instead of hurting. but human healers have to deal with the not-so-convenient healing magic)

but yes! that's the basics of healing!

\o/

(dark/blood magic injuries/poisonings don't always react well with healing magic... but that's less likely to come up, I think. and really, the trick with that would be to purify/remove the dark magical stuff and then do the healing)
