## Healers

I wanted healers to be more than magical hit point vending machines.

First of all, I wanted, as with all magic, for it to have a cost. I wanted the cost to be personal and painful. They don't just make the damage go away, they absorb it and it slowly fades.

I also extended it to more than just healing. They can shape flesh, for good or for evil. They can heal deformities, do "magic plastic surgery", but also deform people.

Healers are also not all good. Many help, but there are Mengeles as well. There are also those which will do whatever they get coin for, such as facilitating the forced breeding of slaves or to shape the body of a harem slave to please their owner.

Many healers also develop an unhealthy obsession with the workings of the body, some to the point of killing and vivisection.
