Restoration

Nature of the Aspect

Restoration magic is the aspect of healing and recovery, enabling the body to mend wounds, fight diseases, and purge toxins. It does not create new life or undo death, but rather accelerates and enhances natural biological processes, drawing power from the world’s innate balance of energy.  

Core Properties

• Particle Color: Red

Risks and Side Effects

For the Recipient:
Healing is not free—it draws directly from the recipient’s own energy reserves. The greater the restoration, the stronger the hunger, fatigue, and pain experienced. The process of rapid tissue regeneration may cause temporary weakness or dizziness.   For the Caster:
The caster temporarily transfers some of their own healing ability and immune response, leaving them more susceptible to infections and injuries. Magic draws from the caster’s Life-Force, though this energy naturally restores over time. Prolonged use without rest can lead to exhaustion and an overall decline in health.  

Ingredient Sourcing & Traits

Ingredient Traits:
Rapid regrowth – Plants that heal wounds or regrow when cut.
Disease resistance – Fungi, herbs, or creatures naturally immune to sickness.
Healing sap or nectar – Collected from special trees with rejuvenating properties.
Pungent odors – Strong-smelling herbs often indicate high restoration potency.
  Where to Find Potent Ingredients:
Swamps & Marshes – Host to plants with natural healing properties due to the harsh environment.
Volcanic Areas – Extreme conditions produce resilient flora capable of rapid regeneration.
Contaminated & Dangerous Locations – Areas where natural restoration is critical for survival often yield the strongest ingredients.
 

Closing Thoughts

Restoration magic is a powerful but demanding art, requiring both caution and respect. While it can save lives, it does not come without cost—both caster and recipient must pay a price for the rapid mending of flesh and the purging of disease. True mastery of Restoration magic involves not just wielding its power but understanding the delicate balance between recovery and risk.
