can we take a moment to just think about how incredibly scary magical healing is in-context?<\/p>\n

You get your insides ripped open but your friend waves his hands and your flesh just pulls back together, agony and evisceration pulling back to a\u00a0\u2018kinda hurts\u2019 level of pain and you\u2019re physically whole, with the 100% expectation that you\u2019ll get back up and keep fighting whatever it was that struck you down the first time.<\/p>\n

You break your arm after falling somewhere and after you\u2019re healed instead of looking for\u00a0\u2018another way around\u2019 everybody just looks at you and goes\u00a0\u201cokay try again\u201d.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been fighting for hours, you\u2019re hungry, thirsty, bleeding, crying from exhaustion, and a hand-wave happens and only two of those things go away. you\u2019re still hungry, you\u2019re still weak from thirst, but the handwave means you have\u00a0\u2018no excuse\u2019 to stop.<\/p>\n

You act out aggressively maybe punch a wall or gnash your teeth or hit your head on something and it\u2019s hand-waved because it\u2019s\u00a0\u2018such a small injury you probably can\u2019t even feel it anymore\u2019 but the point was that you felt it at all?<\/p>\n

Your pain literally means nothing because as long as you\u2019re not bleeding you\u2019re not injured, right? Here drink this potion and who cares about the emotional exhaustion of that butchered village, why are you so reserved in camp don\u2019t you think it\u2019s fun retelling that time you fell through a burning building and with a hand-wave you got back up again and ran out with those two kids and their dog?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Older warriors who get a shiver around magic-users not because of the whole\u00a0\u2018fireball\u2019 thing but the\u00a0\u2018I don\u2019t know what a normal pain tolerance is anymore\u2019 effect of too much healing. Permanent paralysis and loss of sensation in limbs is pretty much a given in the later years of any fighter\u2019s life. Did I have a stroke or did the mage just heal too hard and now this side of my face doesn\u2019t work? No i\u2019m not dead from the dragon\u2019s claws but I can\u2019t even bend my torso anymore because of how the scar tissue grew out of me like a vine.<\/p>\n

Magical healing is great and keeps casualties down.<\/p>\n

But man.<\/p>\n

That stuff is scary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
