Psychic healers are a breed whose gentle power lends hope to the land of Lost Souls: the ability to mend wounds and cure illness through the power of their minds. While a lesser psychic healer may be able to do little more than help a wound to heal more quickly than a skilled herbalist might, those of greater power can perform mighty feats of restoration.
Psychic healing is a complex discipline which draws upon a broad variety of psychic faculties; redaction is almost always paramount, but also employed are metasenses to determine the nature and extent of wounds, injuries and maladies, psychokinesis to return flesh and bone to their proper disposition without the need for direct contact, psycholeptesis to quicken the body's energies and drive out ill influences, and metacreativity to fashion new substance where it is needed. Different aspects of the talent will draw upon these capabilities in differing proportion; likewise, most abilities of the psychic healer rely upon willpower, charisma, perception, and intelligence in varying degree.
The most elementary capability of the psychic healer is that of simple diagnosis. By a quick metasensory examination, you may determine the state of the health of most any creature of flesh and blood. This ability relies only upon your perception, intelligence, charisma, and skill at metasenses and redaction, unlike more complex abilities. To use this power, concentrate on diagnosing the health of your subject.
The next of your powers, and perhaps the most broadly useful, is the ability to heal wounds. Drawing on your full range of capabilities, this activity relies most heavily on willpower, charisma, and redaction. To perform this action, concentrate on healing your subject.
While it does require a modicum of skill, many psychic healers are capable of purifying poisons from the blood of their charges. This power relies most heavily on perception and redaction. To attempt to cure poisoning, concentrate on cleansing the poison from your subject.
Requiring somewhat more skill to execute than the curing of poison, the correction of blindness is yet within the capabilities of many healers. This capability is most heavily reliant upon your intelligence, perception, and skill at redaction. Concentrate on restoring vision to your subject in order to attempt it.
A power requiring considerable ability, the capacity to cure disease is the mark of a capable psychic healer. Your ability at this is most influenced by your perception, willpower, and skill in the areas of redaction, metasenses, metacreativity, and psycholeptesis. To use this capability, concentrate on cleansing disease from your subject.
Lastly, the greatest of psychic healers are known to be able to regenerate entire lost limbs. Most healers never achieve the considerable power required for a feat of this magnitude. Should you join the ranks of those who have, your level of capability at the task will be most influenced by your willpower, charisma, and skill at redaction, metacreativity, and metasenses. To attempt it, simply concentrate on regenerating the limb in question; for instance, to attempt to regenerate the right hand of a man named Michael, concentrate on regenerating Michael's right hand.
