The Regeneration spell surrounds the Empath with a cocoon of energy that amplifies the body's healing process. When activated, the spell will heal the Empath of all wounds, scars, and blood loss and continue to pulse the healing every 6 seconds.

While active, the spell also provides a small amount of protection. The caster will take reduced damage from critical attacks, giving the Empath a possible chance to survive. Without lore, the default protection is equivalent to "heavily" padded armor. With approximately 50 ranks of Mental Lore, Manipulation, it's up to "masterfully". Unlike armor, this is not randomized. The crit reduction from the spell stacks with armor padding.

This spell can be activated while stunned, immobilized, or webbed by using the REGENERATE verb. If you are silenced by spell or combat maneuver, Regeneration cannot be activated.

Lore Benefits

Mental Lore, Manipulation will increase the amount of protection against critical attacks.

Mental Lore, Transformation allows the Empath to cast the spell extra times per day, with a cast granted at 50, 125, and 200 ranks.

Every 100 ranks of Spirit Mana Control will reduce one second from the subsequent 6-second regeneration pulses.

Messaging

Spell Start:

Points of silvery light begin to flicker around Empath. They grow in number, swirling into a bright flash as his injuries heal to scars, then gradually fade completely. Dimming slowly, the light settles into a shimmering silver cocoon that surrounds him.

Using the REGENERATE verb to activate the spell:

!PR>regenerate
You feel a gentle breath of fresh air brush across your face.

!SP>
Points of silvery light begin to flicker around you. They grow in number, swirling into a bright flash as your injuries heal to scars, then gradually fade completely. Dimming slowly, the light settles into a shimmering silver cocoon that surrounds you.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Critical padding messaging:

The silvery cocoon of light around you swells momentarily, softening the attack!

Pulse messaging:

Your wounds begin to mend as the argent cocoon pulses with light.

Spell Ending:

The silvery cocoon of light around Empath flashes brightly, then dissolves into thousands of tiny lights before fading away.

Release Event

The release event for Regeneration started on April 27, 2008. One infected person quickly spread a muscle-stiffening disease across the continent. The disease only affected empaths. The disease caused empaths to lose 40% of their stamina when they attempted, or successfully, transfered a wound to themselves.

The disease also manifested in the healer in the following scripts, the messaging included both first and third person:

A scream escapes your lips as no more than a soft gasp as your muscles become rigid.
A soft gasp escapes Empath's lips.
You are overcome with exhaustion.
Empath looks exhausted.
A tightening in your chest causes you to struggle to breathe.
Empath seems to be having trouble breathing properly.
You nearly collapse, but catch yourself at the last moment.
Empath nearly collapses, but catches herself at the last moment.
You feel a slight tremble building before it grows into sporadic convulsions.
Empath's body begins to tremble, then convulses.
Your eyes repeatedly close on their own accord while you struggle to keep them open.
Empath blinks rapidly while wavering about.
Your muscles lock up and you are unable to move for a brief moment.
Empath stiffens and stops all movement for a brief moment.
Your body is wracked with pain.
Empath grimaces.
Your overtaxed muscles begin to twitch and spasm.
Empath's muscles begin to twitch and spasm.
A tingling sensation spreads over your body, then fades leaving you with a lingering weakness.
(I never caught the third-person messaging for this one. Anyone?)

When a healer lacked the necessary stamina to complete a transfer, she received the following messaging:
:You attempt to transfer, but your body responds with a shudder.
