Haha, I've stated my points, and find no use in babbling with a forum lurk. Take care.

What's funny is how I have no idea where you got that screen grab of that Ascended Lore, because it wasn't from the most recent guide or rewrite. Regardless, It takes months of RP teaching to get to a level high enough to even heal complex wounds, which at that level, you could be able to regenerate after an appropiate amount of time had passed.

An Ascended doesn't regenerate large scale wounds within a few OOC minutes. That's not how I RP the magic, and that's not how it should be RP'ed. Instead of saying that that's how the magic is roleplayed on a general scale, perhaps give specific names? Since this post has already went from Holy Magic Healing as a whole to just nitpicking Ascended magic, you shouldn't mind giving screenshots or any actual proof. Ascended can take on fatal wounds, like decapitated arms, but doing that is a pk, as it is the Ascended that now has the fatal wound. They wouldn't regenerate themselves from bleeding out.

I don't know what the argument topics have turned to, so I'll respond to the original post: Holy healing, as laid out by lore, has consequences. The point at which it doesn't is a result of people roleplaying the magic improperly; It is not the fault of what's written in lore. This, of course, could be prevented if it was all regulated properly by the LT. All that gets discussed is to change this, and to change that. But then what? The same people will continue to RP poorly, finding grey areas to use, or just straight up powergaming. The LT can screech for changes, but I can guarantee that a rewrite can go through, get passed, and then we'll be right back here, because only a handful of magic users improperly RP their magic. Weed out the bad players before hindering the ones who can do good for the representation of their magic. I would like to add that a nerfing of Holy Magic Healing wouldn't increase the number or need of mundane healers and doctors. People decide to play those kinds of characters. And you can't predict that just hindering holy healing will increase the number of players interested and invested in mundane healing. At that point, it just sounds like you threw that point in, just for the sake of having a 'positive and productive outcome' as opposed to sounding like the LT want to nerf because they hear complaints.

The magic doesn't belong to any hand anymore, as there are a handful of people actively rp'ing as having Fi' magic, including myself, Rella and Magicpastry. This re-write was done to fix the endless amount of holes within the lines of the magic. Good work Rella!
