Hello! I’m sorry if this question was asked already, but is it stated anywhere in the lore ‘what’ aether is actually capable of healing? To be more specific, do healing spells mend ALL wounds or just surface wounds? Can they mend broken bones? A punctured lung? Are all diseases able to be removed by things like Leeches and Esuna? Any and all information is appreciated, thank you in advance!

Healing Lore

Limitations of Healing Magicks

I think Coultenet sums it up best. A healer can only do so much, and much of what a healer can do depends on the healer. However, there seem to be a few general rules: 

  1. Restorative magicks (such as Cure or Physick) mend physical wounds, knit flesh, close cuts.
  2. Spells like Esuna or Leeches cleanse humours, remove ailments, and can treat the root cause of symptoms. 
  3. More severe injuries and maladies require long-term, often non-magical, care. A healer can only heal for so long.
  4. Some injuries cannot be healed. Some conditions are terminal. The dead cannot be restored to true life.

I included lore for certain White Magic spells (or succor) below and further down I also briefly covered a Scholar’s and Faerie’s ability to cleanse ailments and diseases. I make specific mention of these two jobs because their abilities appear to transcend well beyond the capabilities of any modern magical or non-magical healing methods available to the vast majority of Eorzea’s population. Given the rarity of these two jobs in lore, it’s not surprising that their ability to more quickly, if not instantly, mend most wounds is nothing short of miraculous, as Rakusa Farusa puts it.

Coultenet: “Even when casting the same incantation, the mastery of each practitioner greatly affects the efficacy of the spell – a principle that was aptly demonstrated to our two young mages here.”

Rakusa Farusa: “Traditional restorative magicks may treat the symptoms, but not the underlying cause. To balance their humours, you must leech the impurities from their bodies.”

Lucia: “The chirurgeons are doing what they can for her, but she may not live through the night.”

Krile: “Now, we’ve staunched the bleeding, but it may be a while before you can move about again. Though, having seen your wounds, I’m surprised you were still moving at all…”

Y’shtola: “Tataru, Krile – I leave the care of our injured messenger to you. See that she remains quiescent and her wounds closed.”

Krile: “You’re worried about Y’shtola, aren’t you? <sigh> It’s too early to make any kind of prognosis, but…she’s alive. For now.”

Raubahn: “See to the wounded, Sounsyy. If they live, help them. If not, move on.“

Astidien: “This has taxed the infirmary beyond all natural limits, and the healers show signs of becoming patients.”

Wiscar: “He was already cold when I got to him… There was naught I could do.”

E-Sumi-Yan: “In mastering healing and purification, not only will you be able to mend wounds and purge afflictions─you will also be able to breathe life back into the fallen.”

E-Sumi-Yan: “For the art of mending, we draw on the boundless life force of nature and bestow it upon the wounded. Sylphie has never sought to borrow from that bounty.

For the art of mending, we draw on the boundless life force of nature and bestow it upon the wounded. Sylphie has never sought to borrow from that bounty.

Her power to heal stems from her own life force. The vital energies of mortals are, however, finite…and now that which I most feared has come to pass.

Her mother unwittingly took her own life through the continued use of her healing skills.”

Encyclopedia Eorzea – Pulse of Life: “Drawing upon the aetherial reserves of every ally present, this potent incantation blossoms outwards from the white mage in scintillating cloud of healing energies. The spell channels pure life force from the caster, reviving and restoring even those who have succumbed to fatal injury.”

Encyclopedia Eorzea – Benediction: “The beneficiary of this spell is instantaneously cured of all wounds. Rather than exhaust the caster’s own mana, Benediction gathers ambient aether and releases it in a single, concentrated burst of healing.”

Encyclopedia Eorzea – Asylum: “Drawing upon ambient aether, this spell weaves a shimmering dome of restorative power within which even the most grievous of injuries will knit and heal. It is said that A-Towa-Cant developed the technique during his pilgrimage to provide swift succor to large groups of wounded.”

Rise and Recliner fund for my mum.

kangarohcreations:

So I’m switching things up a lil I’m still doing $10 headshots, but I need to do alot more than 30. 

As I’ve said mum recently fell and fractured her arm in the shoulder joint, normally they’d pin it but because of the chemo that would be risky and potentially fatal. 

This also means mum can’t sleep in her bed, she;s sat up in our couch atm that we’ve had for 10 years, it was second hand before we got it. The bottom is falling out and it’s not very comfortable. We planned on replacing it next year, but she needs something better sooner. Because at the moment she’s essentually tarpped there. She can’t get up or down without help. Which means I’m getting ill too because I am too scared to sleep or be away from her too long. (Atm I have to lock myself away with the dog so he doesn’t get lonely and can’t jump on mum making things worse. 

I need ATLEAST £350 for a riser and recliner chair. This would mean she can comfortably sleep but also help her get up easier without much help. (They lift and lean to assist getting on your feet.) 

Please donate here 


Then send me an IM or Ask with your paypal email and your contact email so I can get details from you. 

If 40 people bought $10 busts from me this month I’d have enough. I can’t promise how quickly I’ll get through these but I desperately need this money to make my mother’s life comfortable and as painless as possible. I’ll try to qork quickly as possible but my own health is getting worse recently cos of the stress. Please be patient with me 🙂

“Wow, you’re really strong!”

Nude in his chest he blushed while was bench pressing a heavy piece of elm trunk,  missing the grip it fell on his stomach, curling up in the ground, no matter how badly might hurt he smiled at you “oww…T-Thank you”

Lawful Good – Tentan

lilygildrose:

Lawful Good-
A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required
to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to
fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in
need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to
see the guilty go unpunished.  Lawful good is the best alignment you
can be because it combines honor and compassion.  However, lawful good
can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes
self-interest.

For Lyn’to:

Neutral Good- A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
