Turns out healing people requires a lot more than just a spell, you actually have to have some idea how the damaged area works. I basically spent the last month taking a crash course on a general practitioner's med school. Let me tell you, there's a reason that shit usually takes four to eight years to learn. My lady ended up having to directly put much of the knowledge into my head as her coomlaen companion watched on. It felt like my head was going to explode until she tapped my forehead putting me to sleep for a few days while my brain sorted and stored the information. Needless to say I lost yet another job to that little situation. I'd say it was worth while though as now I'll be able to heal my allies as long as they follow the First Rule for a month or the magic will come undone.

My Lady was not joking about the remedial classes! She even made flashcards! Freaking flashcards! And if I got a question wrong she whacked the back of my hands with a ruler! Then she made me heal my own bruised hands with my own magic for practice. I don't think I ever tried this hard at magic school or my short apprenticeship but at least My Lady isn't stingy with power like those were. She even promised a brand new power tatoo if I do well enough, she says my mind needs to be properly prepared to recieve the Gift. I can't wait to see what it is! Maybe another attack? Or a further mobility option? Whatever it is it has to be more useful than what I got out of that apprenticeship (oggled by a creepy old man, four ruined cauldrons and an urg ut infestation in my trunk)
