Shapers the sculptor's and menders of flesh.

Experts in the healing and mending of Wounds, and the shaping and alteration of flesh.-Thotherres Pallant High Shaper General of Arnarfell

Shapers are expertly trained physician mages/weavers, and surgeons. Shapers are a specialized career requiring years of schooling and practice, and even then they are still always learning and honing their skills. This is the reason why it is so rare for individuals to enter into the career field. Shapers use specialized weaves, tools and techniques to interact with and alter the body in order to heal and mend wounds. As well as to provide cosmetic and physical changes for the wealthy and famous. Shapers are picked from the best and brightest physicians and students of the healing arts. Illithaed the city of healing and the grand library was the location of the academic schools that teach and train students in the healing arts. Now with the mist covering Illithaed and with no communications for months its unknown if the city is still training new healers and new shapers. It takes ten to fourteen years to properly train to be a shaper. This is because wound healing is a precise art and any deviation can lead to permanent damage and deformity. Like vivamancers shapers use their magic to shape an alter flesh, though unlike vivamancers shapers deal with living flesh and seek to heal the patient or provide cosmetic alterations that have been consented on. After their schooling shapers are gifted/ sent to other nations or countries to train up healers and medical experts as well as to provide the best healing and medical care possible.   Shapers largely deal with healing wounds and performing cosmetic alterations to patients with means to do so. They use special tools as implements to focus there weaves(spells) allowing for precise surgical precision when sculpting or moving parts of there clients bodies. They use special weaves that allow them to grow, move, shape and cut or erase muscle tissue bone, skin etc. Shapers like many high tier mages have trained and have had there mortal pattern/soul altered to increase there chroma(mana) reserves. This allows them to be able to work on patient's for extended amounts of time, and deal with any emergencies that may come up. Though there chroma(mana) reserves the is there greatest limiting factor, and is the reason they only deal with important patients who are in the most need. But there training in modern medicine and techniques allows them to act as normal physicians, doctors, and surgeons.   In order to deal with the paradox of mind and body, a malady of the mind that healers have to deal with when healing severe wounds, shapers employ the use of high grade hallucinogen's and anesthetic's. This allows shapers to use enchantment and charm weaves(spells) to manipulate and alter there patients states of mind controlling their minds to cope with the changes to the body and to trick the mind into believing that the patients alter/healed state is its original and normal state. After surgery patients have to go through counseling and hypnosis on a monthly basis in order for the healing to maintain and become permanent. They also have to go through the use of charms or mind altering spells to ease and help with the process. They are then given special medicine's to help with imprinter sickness or imprinting sickness. Some of the conditions of imprinter sickness is the development of a psychosis, brain fog, trouble thinking, uncontrolled shaking, altered mood and personality, overreacting to events as well as hallucinations. Individuals who have gone to a shaper in a short time span are likely to develop one or more conditions of imprinter sickness. This can be negated by treatment and the use of prescribed medicines. Areas in which a shaper worked on or did surgery on will have a slight temporally glow. This is do to the trapping in the body of released chroma when a weave is expressed. Its the shapers unique chroma reacting to the clients unique chroma. This glow will only persist for a matter of days and will likely fade completely after that.   Menders are a lesser version of shapers. They are normally trained from members of the community by Shapers to provide some aid to communities, the poor impoverished and in need. Menders normally provide free services and are part of free-clinics with enough knowledge to heal cuts and or light wounds.
