Through a feat of pure mental concentration, an [[Empath]] is able to heal their wounds, ranging from minor scratches to complete limb regeneration. This skill set begins with '''Heal''', which restores lost blood.

With the aid of an artifact that was recently uncovered, Empaths have divined how to reverse this process, causing blood loss in their targets. Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] increases the amount of damage. Due to the nature of this attack, Harm only affects targets that are living and have blood.

The duality of this spell is represented by its name—'''Heal/Harm'''.

*{{boldmono|[[PREPARE]] 1101 {{!}} CAST }} to cast this spell normally
*{{boldmono|[[CURE]]}} fully replenishes the caster's health at a cost of 1 MP per 10 HP healed

{{mono|CAST}} costs 1 [[Mana Point]] (MP) and restores at least 10 [[Health|Health Point]]s (HP). When using {{mono|CAST}}, the amount of blood restored is subject to the Empath's [[First Aid]] skill, [[Empath Base]] ranks, and their [[level]].

{{mono|CURE}} fully restores any lost health, but has a fixed rate of 1 MP per 10 HP.

Some minor [[healing roundtime]] is incurred, slightly more when using {{mono|CURE}}. Training in [[Mental Lore, Transformation]], as well as gaining spell ranks in Empath Base, will reduce healing roundtime.

The spell cannot be{{boldmono| [[INCANT]]<nowiki>ed</nowiki> }}to produce the healing effect.  Targeting 1101 at inanimate objects will restore the empath's blood loss as well.

== Harm ==
 
The healing powers of 1101 can be reversed on a target, causing them '''Harm'''. Harm only affects living targets that have blood to be lost and will cause [[health]] damage only (no [[critical]] damage or wounds).

*{{boldmono|[[PREPARE]] 1101 {{!}} CAST {target}}} or {{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 1101}} to cast the Harm aspect of this spell

===Damage Formula (Lore Benefit)===

The spell has a base (minimum) damage of 15 HP and a [[Damage Factor]] of 0.100. Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] provides an additional damage bonus based on a seed 1 [[summation]] of ranks.

{{Equation box|{{math|Damage {{=}} 15 + (0.100 &times; ([[Endroll]] - 100)) + Manipulation Damage Bonus}}}}

The Heal spell is also involved in crafting greater and full [[health potion]]s.
