Healing

Healing is one of the Four Talents bestowed upon mankind by the goddess Sha. It is the ability to use the flow of power within another being to return it to a previous state, or heal it.

Manifestation of Healing
Unlike Enhancement and Sealing, it is very rare for Healing to be manifested before someone undergoes a Testing. A consequence of this is that the amount of Healers in the realm is rather low.

For someone to manifest Healing outside a Testing, they should be confronted with someone who is very wounded and be stressed out enough to subconsciously heal the wounded person. A lot can go wrong when an untrained Healer tries to heal someone, but when successful, the would-be Healer can sure look forward to a bright carreer as an experienced and powerful Healer.

During the Testing, the Healers try to get the candidates to manifest their power by witnessing them performing a Healing. A Healer can sense it when another Healer starts observing or even healing the patient they are working on.

Nature of Healing
Healers use the power in non-manifested beings to affect the state of said being.

Healing's Limitation
As stated in the Laws of Talent it is not possible to use the power on someone who has manifested their own Talent. That unfortunately means that Healers cannot heal anyone who has a power manifested.

The Process of Healing
When a Healer starts working on a patient, they delve into their bodies following the flow of power that every living being has in him. They look for the parts that are broken of or are damaged and heal them to their previous state. Flows of power can die out when damaged or broken, so the Healers have to get to the patient pretty fast if they want their Healing to be successful. This 'waiting period' usually lasts no longer than a day.

The bigger the wound, the more experienced and powerful the Healer has to be. Healing is also very taxing on the body of both the Healer and the patient.

The Art of Taryae
To combat the limitation of Healers not being to heal manifested people, a new branch of Healing was founded in the year 323 E.G. by First Healer Riss Taryae. By using herbs and a variety of animal products, she discovered new ways of healing people without using her Talent. This type of Healing often makes use of plants or animals with a high presence of power, but also of regular plants and animals.

Healers in the Realm
Healers are probably the most welcomed by the common folk. After completing their training in Eresath, Healers travel to whereever they want to help anyone in need of it. Thanks to their good reputation, they can stay almost anywhere for free and people will often take them in to provide shelter and food.

The Healer Halls
The amount of Healers who travel is rather low, most Healers will travel to a city of their own choosing, mostly close to where they were born, to be stationed in a Healer Hall. Healer Halls were first constructed in the year 165 as a response to the growing distrust of the common folk in the Order after the events of Gherald's Uprising. In these Halls, anyone who is injured can be treated for free and without questions asked. Each Healer Hall also has several Taryae practitioners present.

First Healer
Much like the Enhancers, the Healers have a First Healer who oversees the rest. Every Healer Hall has his own First Healer who runs the Hall and reports to the First Healer at Eresath.
