It's a moot point in this case, but it's useful to keep in mind for mid-combat healing.</div></div></div><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Dagnyr wrote:</cite>"Then I ask the light of lights to grant me her aid in restoring one of her faithful servants to health.."</div></blockquote><br/>The Aurain symbol in Dagnyr's hand warms slightly as it channels the goddess's power, flowing forth in a river of glimmering golden motes. The river splits into smaller streams as it crosses the archon's body, moving as if guided by some higher awareness to channel their healing energies where her body needs them the most. Unsurpsingly, the vast majority of Dagnyr's balm settles over the gash in the archon's midsection. Highlighted by the glowing motes, Dagnyr and the others can see clearly the severity of her wound: even cauterized, it's still worryingly deep...<br/><br/>Fortunately for all present, it doesn't stay so for long. As soon as the motes settle into place, they begin to amplify and expand, transforming from scattered dots into luminescent pools the color of white gold. A whisper of summer breeze stirs the night air as Dagny'rs balm takes effect, drawing a quiet gasp from the archon as the glowing pools fill her body with sunlit warmth at odds with the surrounding night. Then, just as quickly, the warmth and light fade, leaving only a lighter, uneven patch of skin over her midsection: an obvious wound still, but closed, and beginning to heal over. At the very least, she'll be safe from infection.<br/><br/>The archon makes a second attempt to rise, and despite a few uncertain moments manages to find strength enough in her arms to shift into a reclined sitting posture. She traces a finger carefully along her healing scar, then beams at Dagnyr with the most stunning smile he's ever seen.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Dagnyr wrote:</cite>"It's not ...well, the most powerful healing spell, as I'm no cleric, but I hope that it helps you."</div></blockquote><br/>The archon laughs softly, offering Dagnyr an even greater smile than before. "You humble yourself, lightbearer. Yours is a most glorious talent.. By your blessing of the queen's light, I have strength enough to work my own magic once again. I shall be healed in but a moment..." With a small grunt of effort, she levers herself into a more upright position, resting a free hand over her abdomen, and closes her eyes in deep concentration. A gust of wind rustles the banner of the Wandering Grille, clattering the few pots and pans that remain hanging, as her palm fills with golden light, expanding, brightening...<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Archon attempts to cast <span style="font-style: italic">cure critical wounds...</span> failure?!</div></div></div><br/>... and then abruptly winking out, leaving her wound untouched. The archon's pleasant expression vanishes into ashen-faced dismay as she stares in disbelief, first at her unhealed injury, then at the empty hand that held her vanquished spell only a moment prior. Her lips move, speaking one word at barely a whisper: "<span style="color: #00BFFF">Impossible...</span>"<br/><br/>Larynn (and to a lesser extent, Kaelen) can feel Sgt. Ananda's glare on them like a physical pressure, even before they look in her direction. She doesn't say a word, but she hardly needs to: the suspicion in her eyes speaks deafening volumes all on its own.<br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">More to come as others post!</div></div></div>
