	This spell complements the [[heal]] and [[purify]] spells - it allows a ruined limb to be restored to full functionality. Bone, sinew, muscle, flesh and blood vessels knit back together and the limb is as good as new within moments. The spell only repairs the functionality of the limb - the patient can still suffer from physical stress and blood loss caused by the original crippling wound. Such damage must be treated ~~seperately~~, either with the [[heal]] spell or with traditional medicine.		This spell complements the [[heal]] and [[purify]] spells - it allows a ruined limb to be restored to full functionality. Bone, sinew, muscle, flesh and blood vessels knit back together and the limb is as good as new within moments. The spell only repairs the functionality of the limb - the patient can still suffer from physical stress and blood loss caused by the original crippling wound. Such damage must be treated separately, either with the [[heal]] spell or with traditional medicine.

	Having a limb restored with this spell is never an entirely natural experience. Some feel a gentle, comforting warmth that spreads from the caster's hands to envelop the chosen body part. Others experience a freezing chill that immediately removes all sensation from the damaged arm or leg - as if it had been entirely severed - which fades slowly after the spell ends. A very rare few patients feel only the horrible sensation of bones knitting and flesh flowing like clay under the hands of the magician, which can be quite traumatising in its own right.

Alternatively, a magician might employ a ritual [[enchantment]] such as [[Hands of the Healer]], which allows the restore limb to be cast almost instantaneously, and without the risk of interruption, to allow them to heal allies who are still in the thick of things.
