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.

Heal

The Heal spell only heals the caster's own blood loss. To heal other people, use the TRANSFER verb.

• PREPARE 1101 | CAST to cast this spell normally
• CURE fully replenishes the caster's health at a cost of 1 MP per 10 HP healed

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

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 CURE. Training in Mental Lore, Transformation, as well as gaining spell ranks in Empath Base, will reduce healing roundtime.

The spell cannot be INCANTed to produce the healing effect. Targeting 1101 at inanimate objects will restore the empath's blood loss as well.

You feel a little better.

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).

• PREPARE 1101 | CAST {target} or 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.

Damage = 15 + (0.100 × (Endroll - 100)) + Manipulation Damage Bonus

Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks 0 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55 66 Damage Bonus 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks 78 91 105 120 136 153 171 190 210 231 Damage Bonus 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

For example, with a 150 endroll and 15 ranks of lore, the spell deals 25 HP damage:

15 + (0.100 × (150 - 100)) + 5 = 25

Success

You gesture at a kiramon worker.
CS: +216 - TD: +142 + CvA: +25 + d100: +78 == +177
Warding failed!
A brief tremor ripples across the worker's skin, leaving a faint beading of scarlet in its wake.
... 29 points of damage!

Failure

You gesture at a kiramon defender.
CS: +216 - TD: +177 + CvA: +25 + d100: +26 == +90
Warded off!
A slight flush tints the defender's skin, but it quickly fades.

Using Harm on a creature with no blood

You gesture at a steel golem.
Finding no living blood upon which to draw, your questing magics pass harmlessly through the golem and lose cohesion.

<Player> gestures at a steel golem.
<Player> takes on a look of intense concentration, but nothing happens.
