Difference between revisions of "Enderal:The Disciplines of Magic - Light Magic"

The manner in which Light Magic functions can be explained relatively quickly: Upon encountering a physical wound, the Light Mage searches the sea of eventualities for a reality containing an intact physique. Through immense mental exertion he then transplants said reality into ours: broken bones and muscle fibers join together once again, while newly grown tissue and skin close up any open wound.

An arcanist wishing to alter a human's natural attributes would proceed in a similar fashion. For a short period of time a man's strength and, by extension, his muscle fiber, is amplified drastically. Sustaining the necessary connection to the sea of eventualities, however, requires the utmost concentration throughout the effect's duration. Few Light mages have managed to establish a permanent connection.

Yet one would be incorrect to assume that the Magic of Light could cure any and all defects or diseases, considering how its application presupposes great magical skill; also, some diseases in their later stages, such as the meat-maggot plague, are too deeply intertwined with the patient's body to make complete replacement of the tissue possible. A similar case would be certain diseases affecting the human mind; numerous experiments have extensively documented the dangers of Light Magic when used to cure cerebral defects, ending either in the patient's sudden brain death or loss of sanity.
