Poor Batzas! I really feel sorry for him. He just wanted to hang out in the country and make wine, and now he has Cassia and a crazy arm.

And probably psychosis, restless leg syndrome, and probably priapristim

Nagato thankfully goes without voices in his head most of the story.

Note I said most.

Tbh I enjoy characters that suffer from the equalvilents of schizophrenia and disassocive identity disorder. It's a fascinating spectrum of the human condition. What causes those, how effective are the treatments, should force medicate those who can't afford/won't t take them.

Truly a fascinating topic I want to learn everything thing bout it

I have a friend who's almost completely paralyzed, so I spend a lot of time thinking about what she's going through and what sorts of devices engineers can make to allow her to function more independently. We don't see disabled people in DA games (do we? maybe I'm forgetting), despite all the violence and wars. How much can magic heal? The physician in Skyhold talks about scientific methods - interesting to examine the intersection of magic and medicine.

There was a implication that there are peg legs and hook hands. And necromancy in theory (if following d&d) can reattach limbs how functional idk

I wonder about that, too. When that physician talks about scientific methods as opposed to magic, my first reaction was "Why would it be better in a world where magic is an actual thing and works?". I understand that it's so that healers are not restricted to mages only, but I didn't like the way this physician said it. If only healers were better appreciated.

As to how much magic can cure, I guess it depends on how skilled is the healer, and the type of healer... spirit healers  are the best and  very versatile, can probably heal things others can't, but they are rarer. And healing seems to take a toll on the healer, if we go by what we see in Dragon Age II.

 

Makes me wonder about some things:

-How healthy should a healer be in order to heal others? Wouldn't trying to heal others when you're weak have a lessened effect?
-If a healer is sick or hurt, how easily can they cure themselves?

Anders healed a headache when he bond with justice abdcwas exhausted before though so its possible it's relayed to endurance

[Uccio]

I would go with the power level and endurance of the mage in question. I think that would put the limits of the mages capability in healing.

 

And at least Batzas doesn´t have to worry about ruling the family. Cassia will do it for him.

*Sparkling laughter filled the chamber, Caius smiled like the sun shining over Minrathous chasing Ashala. She avoided him jumping over his bed but got entangled on the bed sheets falling down. Caius grabbed her and they both fell down on a soft carpet rolling around on the floor.
"Oh you got me my lord", she giggled playfully. "Never call me lord" Caius said partially serious, "I don´t want you to ever think that, not for a second". Caius rolled on his back pulling her on him. Her golden hair streamed down on his face as she kissed him. "One day I don´t have to" she whispered so close to his face.

"I will take you away, somewhere out there is a place for us", Caius said looking into her crystal blue eyes. "We could try to find my tribe, or just build ourselves a home in the woods somewhere. I still remember what my mamae thought me" Ashala whispered gazing into his eyes. "I don´t care where we are, as long as I am with you" Caius said kissing her while he caressed her body slowly.

Suddenly a distant bell rang somewhere in the manor. "Dirthara-ma, dinner! I completely forgot it!" Ashala jumped on her feet taking support from Caius chest. She pulled her simple robe on.
"I have to go, there is still work to do" she smiled at him. "And I will prepare, we can leave in a few days. Just few more little things", Caius replied sitting on the floor. He felt like time was running out, his father had become suspicious lately. Caius could feel it.

"Ar lath ma, ma vhenan" she whispered blowing a kiss at him while she slipped out of the door. "And I love you", Caius whispered after her.


Caius closed his eyes for a moment inhaling the hot breeze of the summer wind letting those painful memories flow through him. He stood up and walked by the stone railing leaning on it.

 

I know why these memories surface, he thought. My new apprentice is so much like her. She doesn´t look like her, Arine is almost a mirror image of her. But the way she presented herself, talks. Moves, small gestures. So much like her. A bitter smile appeared shortly on his face disappearing. He sighted, she had broken through his walls simply by being present. Thought he had done his best to hide it. Some scars remain sore forever it seems.

Caius heard a door open in the chamber behind him. He turned and walked in seeing Nazlik rush to the room. When Caius looked at her a soothing serenity filled him, brushing away old ghosts. At least this time he had been able to hold on to his love.

She came to him cheering and almost skipping, happiness shining on her face. "Your messenger brought me a letter, my parents are coming!". She grabbed Caius before he was able to say anything and they fell on the bed entangled in a wild kiss.*

I'm looking forward to Elowyn getting to know this side of Caius. Maybe she can be a healer of sorts.

...

I felt the same way! It just goes along with the mages-are-scary-and-evil trope if you get rid of healing. Besides, science can let us down when people give up hope - medicine doesn't have that one figured out yet. Mages are more sensitive to emotions (represented by spirits and demons), so it follows that mage healers could bolster the spiritual well-being of the injured and ill. I think this is an excellent aspect to explore - it was only briefly touched upon in Asunder.  

 

I think healers need to draw on their own mana to heal, and being in pain or sick would interfere with this ability. Some also have more talent for it than others.

gratis ran throughout the streets all the way to his mothers estate. It was liberating to be able to run again,years it had been a cripple hobbling where went .

" I have four... that will buy me the night yes" bartzas asked. The prostitute nodded and took him inside a small apartment. She began to undress and layed on the bed "come on love let's make this night memorable.. " she cooed. Bartzas got on top of her it was nothing new he was just another shem looking for a elf's lotus. "Ow! No biting " she said as he made his way down. "Hush your my property " he said continuing to bite her . The woman pushed him off " hey I like rough but your damaging goods" she said. Batzas bagan to strangle her how dare a whor* dictate what he could do... he was transcended he could have anything he wanted. He could feel the life ebb from the woman it was exhilarating watching her die.

When she finally expired a perverse curiosity took him he wondered if he could become more powerful but taking more parts for the dead. He grabbed a knife from the kitchen and started cutting
