#healing magic

[vvyvernicus]

Thanks for answering ✨

Does healing magic exist in Twisted Wonderland? Outside of battles I mean.

In the Savanaclaw Arc, when students were getting hurt, I didn't realize it was a big deal (aside from the bullying aspect). They could just heal themselves right? But when it said students would drop out of the Spelldrive team, which was days away, it confused me.

Is healing magic an actual thing or just a battle gimmick? If so, why wouldn't they use it in school?

Hello hello! Thank you for this question! 🏥

We have had many examples in the game of people becoming injured in various ways and requiring both time and a medical specialist in order to recover:

・Trey catching a cold ・Riddle catching a cold ・Silver twisting his ankle ・A student getting burned by a cauldron (by Ruggie) ・A student hurting their ankle (by Ruggie) ・Trey hurting his ankle, to the point he is "on crutches for a while" (by Ruggie)

・Jamil cutting himself with a knife (by Ruggie) ・Ruggie getting injured in the spelldrive tournament (in revenge for all the people he'd injured earlier) and dried out during Leona's overblot ・Post-overblot medical treatment ・Ace and Deuce injured by CHARON ・Riddle getting too close to Tartarus ・Vil getting too close to Tartarus

There are also references to NRC's "resident counselors and medical mages appointed by the Department of Education," and the novels, where there is more detail about things like how long it takes the students to physically recover from injuries, like Riddle:

"You need not worry,’ Riddle brushes off Leona's mockery. ‘I can manage my own health just fine.’ He says this, but in reality, quite a bit of time had passed before he had been able to so much as stand on his own feet after overblotting. He had felt so heavy; been in so much pain. It had been as if his entire body had burned itself out, along with his magical power." - Twst the second novel

In Book 5 Vil mentions taking "a painkiller potion" but nothing about a healing potion, so if such a thing exists it seems that the students do not have access to them--and they do seem to exist, or at least they used to, if you were a member of the royal guard of Briarland:

While I do not think "healing potion" is ever said aloud Baul provides an injured General Lilia with a potion after he is hurt in a trap.

We do not know the nature of his injuries but it seems the trap came close to killing him, and the potion that he drinks is not an instantaneous cure-all: even after drinking he is still too injured to teleport.

And despite their access to this potion that was able to keep Lilia alive there are still wounded soldiers amongst their men, and Baul mentions combat medics, whom it doesn't seem they would need if healing potions were both useful and plentiful--maybe only used as a last resort?

And magical healing is mentioned again in Book 7: the magic suffusing Mount Dread, that Lilia says "empowers us fae," though it does not heal him completely and "could end up harmful" to humans.

So it may be safe to say that healing magic is not really a thing at NRC? 🧐

I agree that it would be odd for Trey to be on crutches, for athletes to be dropping out of tournaments and for Riddle to be out of school for an undetermined amount of time to recover from his overblot if they could all be instantly heal regardless of injury--so it is possible that they cannot! :>

Shortly before Darkening Day—the holy day in my tradition that celebrates the Winter Solstice—I discovered what may be the most beautiful stone I've ever found during a river offering.

I was initially drawn to it purely for its size and smoothness, thinking it must be a basalt stone, which are very common in local waterways. However, looking at it later, I was floored to realize that it's not actually a solid black rock, but a darkly translucent crystal filled with patterns. From what I can tell, it's a specimen of agate.

One of the central tools I use in my practice is the Stroking Stone, which I utilize for physical healing. Traditionally, a Stroking Stone should be quartz-bearing and naturally smoothed by water, and as agate is a polymorph of quartz, and this stone was found directly in moving water, those parameters line up perfectly. What's more, though, the way to consecrate a Stroking Stone involves blessing it during the Sabbatical Ceremony of Darkening Day, which is strongly associated with both water and healing. Finding this just days before the one day of the year during which I can consecrate such a tool felt very auspicious to me.

I am excited to get to know this amazing stone and build magical rapport with it over time.

Clerics -- Keepers of the Faith (Lucy Synk intro illustration for special section on clerics and gods, Dragon 140, December 1988). This is the same issue that introduced Larry Elmore's painting "Avalyne the Life Giver" on the cover.

[its-kayyyy]

here's some witch thing to do for Mabon (mah-bawn) (also know as the Autumn Equinox, or Pagan Thanksgiving) since its saturday!

• make stew to celebrate the gifts (aka crops) that the earth has given us (even better if it has squash in it)

• eat stuff with apples and squash!

• set out an offering for the wildlife

• eat pomegranate in honor (idk the right word to use there) of Persephony

• relock your mirrors, recharge your wards, cleanse stuff, ect.

• journal what you've done this year so far

• set your home up for winter

and here something bigger that I would suggest doing is taking a healing bath.

put some healing herbs in your bath and corresponding crystals and candles (the candles and crystals are optional). here's a list of herbs im going to use: dried rosemary, apple slices, bay leaves, thyme, dried rose pedals, spearmint leaves, himalayan pink salt, blackberries, and cucumber. the crystals im using: clear quartz, rose quartz, moonstone, aquamarine, and jasper. and im going to use some ocean water, too (if you have an ocean near you, you can use ocean water). and here are the candles im using and the meaning that im using that color for:

white (peace, purity, spiritual)

blue (calmness)

pink (emotional healing, self love)

green (physical healing)

yellow (comfort, joy)

also, if you want to use different herbs and crystals then me visit pinecone pub on the ✨ interwebs ✨ and click the get started button and type in 'heal' or ' healing' (of course with out the 's) in the search and a list of stuff would come up (herbs and crystals) that you can put in your healing bath.

Mabon simmer pot:

what you'll need:

• an orange

• rosemary (dried or fresh)

• an apple

• cinnamon sticks

• rose pedals (dried or fresh)

how to:

(1. cut up your orange and apple into slices.

(2. start heating up a pot of water on a stove

(3. add in your orange slices, apple, rose pedals, rosemary, and cinnamon sticks.

(4. let simmer.

and a little extra tip for this coming autumn, the stuff that makes up pumpkin spice, all of those herds can be used for protection. so if you like pumpkin spice, there's a little excuse to eat more stuff with pumpkin spice in it.

I like to imagine Mario tries to hide any smaller injuries from Peach because he doesn't want to bother her with things he can just get over himself. Meanwhile Luigi (along with co-conspirators like Toadsworth, Toad and Daisy) will immediately snitch on him to Peach any chance they get because they know she wants to help him and he loves getting help from her. Every once in a while they "just so happen to discuss" something a little too loud where they know Peach can overhear, so it doesn't get too obvious what they're doing. Sometimes they just tell her straight out.

Oh they would. 😏👌

And this is precisely what happened there too! Peach saying that she's heard about Mario's mild injury says a lot (thanks Luigi!). x3

Her healing wouldn't only occur in dire or grim scenarios. Often times, it would happen in calm and soft moments when everything feels warm and cozy, and such occasions would always be enjoyed equally by the princess and her sweet friend. 😌💞

Various Uses for Fossils in Magic from Wisht Waters by Gemma Gary

"Sea fossils, as well a guarding against drowning, had other protective uses. The fossils of sea urchins, or Echinoids, were employed for a variety of protections. Upon these fossils, one might find a star-like pattern, very reminiscent of the 'daisy-wheels', which one might find inscribed into the timbers and masonry of ancient buildings, most likely for apotropaic purposes. Their folk names include shepherd's crowns, thunder stones and fairy loaves. They protected against thunder, evil spirits and witches, prevented milk turning sour, and in common with other fossil amulets, they sweated in the presence of poison. As 'fairy loaves' they might be used to ward off supernatural interference from the baking process, and to ensure an abundance of bread."

pg. 104

"Belemnite fossils, from an extinct squid-like creature, were known as thunderbolts, and were thus kept as charms to protect against lightning. Once believed to be the tongues of ancient serpents, fossilised shark teeth were one of the fossil amulets against poison"

pg. 104

"Rings of stone, formed from the fossilised stems of the sea-lily were known as St Cuthbert's Beads, as were worn as amulets against evil influences."

pg. 105

"The 'Devil's Toenail' fossils were carried as charms against rheumatic pain, and they were powdered to be used in the treatment of soreness of the back in horses."

pg. 107

"Various accoutrements of the sea witch's divinatory work may be seen in the Museum of Witchcraft. Here we find that belemnites were employed by a Newlyn sea witch named Nancy. She would read the fall of her 'sea stones' to make predictions for fishermen. Perhaps their traditional association with lightning gave belemnites the virtue to make predictions regarding storms and changes in the weather?"

pg. 108

[...] There have been many ways to bless, consecrate and 'sain' water, thus rendering it more potent and useful within various rites and magical operations. This might be achieved by steeping or immersing charmed items within the water, or else allowing water to flow or be poured over such an item. These may include charm-stones, fossils, flints, or the metals gold and silver.

pgs. 115-116

"Ammonite fossils were also employed as charm stones to cure cattle in 17th century Scotland. They were known as 'cramp stones' because cattle afflicted with cramp would be treated by being bathed in water in which a 'cramp stone' had been steeped for a number of hours."

Day 1 @andersweek2025 - Magic Monday

I am going to try to use this week to practice digital art... I am really not confident with digital art, pens and paper are more my thing, so these are taking ages 😂 and needing my to watch a million YouTube videos it seems... not sure I'll get every day done (though tomorrow has been done in advance and took most of the last month to complete) but it's a frustrating fun challenge.

I'm also using this week to explore my Handers world state and the post DA2 relationship betwewen my OC Autumn Hawke and Anders. Just a warning 😝

I was tempted to write a Aumtnm Hawke/Anders post DA2 fic about when their son's magic first presents... but... ran out of time, so that will need to happen some other time.

[dunmeshistash]

Do you have any idea on where does it say that they use healing magic for torture? I'm 100% sure it's Marcille talking to Chilchuck when it happens but I can't remember when does she say it :(

Chapter 28 after the bath scene

[lailoken]

I broke my dominant index finger a little while back, and though I was making good progress with it, I recently strained it again and set my healing back a fair amount. As such, I've decided to employ the traditional magical operation I know as 'Wresting the Thread'.

The process entails using a cord of undyed black wool to tie 9 enchanted knots, each of which captures the power of a particular healing prayer that is recited 9 times. That cord is then used to wrap and treat the injured extremity, and when the healing is done, the cord is burned.

Along with the basic traditional framework I learned, I also imbued the wool cord with the virtues of Medicus Oil (an empowered oil of sorcerous remediation,) and called upon the auspices of fixed star Rasalhague, which has shown itself, over the course of my work, to be a powerful ally in matters of health and mending.

(one of) The correct magic square of Solomonic Seal + Translation of Working for Insomnia and nightmares

I thought the previous post wasn't properly written and just reblogging the one before wouldn't really show the "good version" from the trial version, so I hope with this post I am able to present it well. I will provide the translation of this below the image and reasoning behind it below the translation:

"A Useful working from the Treasuries of The Great name of Allah"

You can use this to Banish Marada(Jinns) and Shayateen (Devils) , to ease child's crying and pregnancy. It protects against the Qareen(Double Shadow in PGM), against crossing, the red wind/Al Ahmar(High Fever), agaisnt Hemiplegia, Headache, Migraine, Cold, back pain, snake bite, obvious and hidden illnesses , Fear, Shock, Nightmare and Insomnia.

After writing the following Seal(shown above) you will proceed by saying the following conjruation once:

"شمخيال شمخيال شدخيال شدخيال إسرافيل إسرافيل بكرميال ميططرون جبرائيل توكلو ياخدام هذه الأسماء المباركة بكذا و كذا "

"Shamkhyal Shamkhyal Shadkhyal Shadkhyal Israfil Israfil Bikramyal Maytatron Jibra'il Tawakkalu Ya Khuddam Hathihi al-Asma' al-Mubarakah Bikadha wa kadha" "Shamkhyal, Shamkhyal, Shadkhyal, Shadkhyal, Israfil, Israfil, Bikramyal, Metatron,

Gabriel, Entrust yourselves, O servants of these blessed names, with [the task of] such and such."

Note: Think of the above technique/working as something from the PGM, you have to "flesh it out" yourself and give it a "frame/framing ritual" to plug it into if you want it to work well.

THE REASONING

If you negate/don't take the last star into consideration you will see the above calculation to be correct with Abjad Al Kabeer Gematria calculation. Now to take the above numbering and put it in the square itself. Then you can see that all the rows, column, and diagonal lines sums up to the same number!

tool used: https://charactercalculator.com/ar/abjad-calculator/

Now if you WANT to enumerate all the possible solutions for this formula it would be 171,200 different squares with the top formula/Solomonic square the same: I can send the file if anyone wants, or the code for it if people wants it :)

whumpees who are the ones with the healing magic. they may not be very strong or really able to protect people, but once the damage has been done, they're the ones who tend to others' wounds.

now, whumpee is barely clinging to life, and caretaker has to desperately try to remember everything whumpee taught them about healing magic and tending wounds. and whumpee is too injured to be conscious, so caretaker has to do it all alone.

Changing of the Guard, Part 2

WoW Birthday Whump Day 13: Natural disaster / Shock collar / "Shut up!"

Prompt List

first part

TW: imprisoned, electrocution, earthquake

Context: It has been several weeks since Henry has been appointed as Dragon Keeper. Arcturus has come to value their friendship. But the magic designed to keep Arcturus imprisoned might be stronger than Henry had anticipated.

-----

It wasn’t the distant rumbling that signaled to Arcturus that something was off. He was used to inexplicable phenomena in a world where wizards could conjure storms and create fire with nothing but a source to draw from. Earthquakes were uncommon in the valley, sure, but not unheard of.

It was when Henry arrived hours before he was supposed to.

During the weeks since his appointment as Dragon Keeper, Arcturus had gotten to know Henry quite well. More than he had any of his previous Keepers. And the boy had not raised his hand against Arcturus. Not once.

He had a good heart.

Surprising, given the upbringing Arcturus had come to expect of the Order. But such was the passage of time for humans. Death came knocking, and new generations replaced the old, removed from the reasons for their ideologies. And so cultures change. Such a thing was obvious to someone with a longer lifespan, such as Arcturus. But anyone who’s studied history can come to the same conclusion. 

From what Henry had told him during their visits, it was pure luck which resulted in his appointment. He was one of many apprenticed wizards, never even set his sights on Dragon Keeper. But when Lars fell ill, the Order drew lots among the apprentices. It was clear by their actions they did not understand what sort of person was expected to be a Dragon Keeper.

In a way, Arcturus pitied Henry as much as Henry seemed to pity Arcturus. The boy was a black swan among his predecessors. It was only a matter of time before one of the more rigid members noticed his milder disposition. 

So the first thing on Arcturus’ mind when Henry entered the cavern, long before the day had elapsed, was that the Order had discovered what was happening.

“What are you doing here?” Arcturus asked softly.

The boy hesitated, the golden light floating above his hand flickering briefly before stabilizing. He’d gotten better at keeping his magic from reacting to his emotions under Arcturus’ guidance, but he still had far to go. “An earthquake has struck the valley,” he said, “I was sent to make sure you haven’t caused it.”

Arcturus snorted, wisps of smoke puffing from his nostrils. “These chains greatly hamper my magic. I might be able to shake my cavern, but not the entire valley to such magnitude. You know this. Why are you really here?”

Henry was silent for a long time. Far away, deep in the valley, the earthquake continued. The vibrations reaching Arcturus’ prison were pitiful, but it must truly be devastating if he could sense it even at this distance.

“I’ve decided,” the boy finally said, his light brightening, “that we are leaving.”

Arcturus blinked in surprise. “Leaving? We?!” It had been a long, long time since he’d been rendered nearly speechless from shock.

“Yes,” was Henry's response before he crossed the cavern, purpose in his stride. Arcturus watched him carefully. Was this some sort of trick? As the thought crossed his mind, Henry reached Arcturus and put his hands on the chains. He murmured the words to a disintegration spell, one Arcturus hadn’t heard in many, many years.

As the chain crumbled into dust, it glowed with electricity, a last-ditch effort in case of escape. The pain that followed was like a thousand sharp needles digging underneath Arcturus’ scales, burning across his body like wildfire. His muscles spasmed, and he could only watch as Henry crumpled to the floor, shaking and thrashing, the scent of burning flesh heavy in the air.

The shock passed as soon as it had begun, and Arcturus lay limp, focusing on his breathing and trying to remember the spells for healing. The chains were designed specifically for him, they would have released enough electricity to incapacitate him.

The boy had taken most of the bolt upon himself. He wouldn’t survive without intervention. 

And Arcturus would rather spend an eternity imprisoned than do nothing for the first human he ever considered a friend. The words of a healing spell fell from his lips as he struggled to get off the ground. The magic flowed around Henry, mending the damaged skin of his hands and sinking into his body. His muscles relaxed, and his breathing eased as the magic put him into a healing sleep. When he awoke, his memory would be the only thing remaining of the injury.

Arcturus didn’t dare do the same for himself. With Henry now incapacitated, it was up to him to get them both out. He gently picked up the boy in one of his claws and, for the first time in decades, walked along the tunnel to the outside world.

It was snowing, the tiny frozen droplets cold against his scales. Far below, the grove in the valley shook, still affected by the earthquake. Arcturus breathed the freezing air in for several moments before setting his sights south and spreading his wings to their full span.

How good it felt to finally stretch them out after all these years! He doubted he would get very far on them, weak as they were, but it would be far enough. The Order would never find them again.

“Don’t worry, Henry,” he said softly to the sleeping boy, “we’re going home.”

If you don’t mind me asking, how deep does Peach’s healing ability go? Can she heal all injuries or are there limits to her healing depending on severity of it?

Does it affect her physically? The more she heals does it leave her drained? Fatigued?

I don't mind at all! 🤗 This is a very good question actually!

The thing is, in my AU, nobody really knows what the true extent of her power really is. Neither Toadsworth, nor Bowser, nor Peach herself has a clear and definite idea of its full magnitude. Her abilities are said (and have been proven to be) more potent than any known power-up and can go well outside of healing bounds, but... Whether there is a limit to those or not is anyone's guess. 🫢

Regarding the use of said power: it can indeed be very draining for Peach depending on the amount and intensity required. The downside would be as much mental as physical, resulting in various symptoms such as faintness, loss of equilibrium, disorientation, migraine and chest pain. Technically speaking, she could likely heal any injury ranging from a mere scratch to a ghastly wound, but the more energy needed, the heavier toll it will take on her wellbeing everytime. ❤️‍🩹

Since her magic is directly linked to her lifeforce, it is suspected that using too much of it at once could cause irreversible damage to her psyche and potentially even be fatal, hence why Toadsworth would be vehemently opposed to her using it under most circumstances. 😔

But here? For something as simple and benign as muscle soreness? And in a context where only a tiny parcel of it would be enough and applying it would be as easy and weightless as breathing? There would be no risk or danger whatsoever. :3 ✨
