Chapter 2331: 2331. Changing Healers
"You all understand that being a healer will put you in some of the most dangerous places you have ever been. You also may be able to maintain a safe place within a town or city if you choose to heal the elderly or injured. Either way, you will be responsible for life itself."
The priest giving this speech was standing in front of fifty young healers. They had various elemental affinities, not just light. As Genesis had grown, more healers or classes similar to healers had appeared with various affinities. Some even had dual elemental affinities that worked together with their skills to heal.
This was an expansion of what the cathedral had originally believed in and founded. The change wasn't anything that people argued against though. Most of the races were very supportive of this change in everything. Mostly since the church had been freed from the oppressive older values recently.
As this caused a change in belief, some people felt that the amount of healing would only increase. There were no restraints on who and how healing worked within Genesis. Especially since there were healers that went right in to the forces being sent to every kingdom.
As this was the case, there was a greater access to healing compared to before. On top of that, there was a growth in those who came forward to learn the best methods to heal and share their skills with others.
Within the cathedral, there were those who did not specifically have healing skills too. The nuns were some of the people closely known as healers who lacked such magical skills. Instead, they had methods to work with recovery. Bandaging the wounds and applying the right medicines or potions was also part of what they learned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the healers had to decide who to help, it was the nuns and others without the skills to directly use healing magic that guided those healers. Ensured that the ones with the worst injuries were treated.
And now that the dwarven medicine was being mixed in to the cathedral, these people were also growing in number. It was partially because of Su's legend as well. She had made it clear that no matter what class or skills someone had, they were able to appear in any place of healing as a helping hand which could save many lives.
"Today you have come to learn something about healing. Whether what you take away is valuable to your skills directly, or will enlighten you otherwise is to be seen. Please allow for Saintess Alice to show you a thing or two."
Alice had been hard at work with her own training lately. She had also been someone that rushed to help the injured when the last battle against the false rats had taken place. Not to mention someone that had sent a large group of healers to the Sigil continent to move about the smaller villages and help out here and there.
"Most of you call me by a nickname, the saintess of songs. Today I am holding back my natural ability to make light dance with my voice. I am going to show you an area healing skill similar to multi heal and multi buff." Eleven having the ability to hold back the light from moving as she spoke, Alice was normally quiet. Or at least spoke very little.
Right now though, she had prepared and trained herself in skills that did not require her to sing. She could have learned these earlier in her life but had been extremely limited due to using her mana when speaking and singing. After gaining the saint title, she had realized that she could more easily use other healing light mana skills.
Throwing herself in to more studies of light magic healing, Alice had taken a lot of what she already learned while trying to stop the mana from slipping away when she spoke. That high amount of studying proved to be invaluable while she read through the newer books about healing magic in relation to elemental affinities. Specifically how skills could be mixed.
One such book had been written by a wandering healer who witnessed Walker use the multi buff skill while also using a multi heal skill at once. They immediately wrote a theory that the light healing skill, rapid heal and double buff could be mixed in to a better version of healing and buffing skill in battle.
Naturally, Alice had seen this and looked further. She had looked at the higher skills which she felt she could more easily used because her light affinity was so developed. She could just speak the words associated with the spells and the effects would begin to occur. Partially due to her always using mana to influence light but also because her form of light mana manipulation was deeply rooted in her intention behind her words. Hence why her songs changed so much.
"The skill, full buff uses light mana to boost speed, defense, attacks, and effects of healing, and even purifies the body slightly. The skill mana boost allows for a better recovery of mana to the target. The skill light healing wave causes a healing pulse of light around a small area which moderately heals the targets. I mixed those skills over the course of the last two weeks."
The next moment, Alice raised her hands and a large amount of light mana surged towards her. This was due to her understanding and control of light mana. Something that a lot of healers would forget to focus on.
A healer would often remain focused on the fact that they had to influence another's body to allow healing. That would leave their own understanding of how they utilized mana at a loss. As in, they would not be able to draw in mana as well because they would be focussed on the mana interacting within their targets' body instead. Not a bad thing.
As the light mana began to form a sphere around her. In a burst, the mana washed over everyone watching and even a few who were there to perform their own duties.
They all felt the enhancements of the buffs along with the invigorating healing. The additional mana flowing in to their bodies proved to be more amazing than what they had heard. None of them had expected that they would actually begin to recover their mana at a faster rate. Most of them even felt more comfortable with their own inner mana. The flow felt smoother than normal.
"I call this skill perfect light buff. It is only perfect in my eyes since it touches on every aspect of what needs to be buffed. It also uses a little less mana than separately using all of those buffing and healing skulls at the same time. It also requires me to channel light mana with myself as the center of it all. Meaning that I do not get buffed or healed at all. It can be improved, but for the intentions, it is perfect."
Alice saw that a lot of the fifty young healers were caught up in the feeling of the skill rather than listening. But she had done what she intended to do. She knew that they would all need to experience this as a whole the first time before they began to learn more about healing or
buffing.
If things went as she hoped, then every single one of them would have wide open eyes to the potential abilities they had. The abilities needed to change and alter the buffs or healing that they were giving. The best thing they could do was to research their own skills, learn to control their mana, and then create better skills that would be used for bettering everyone's
lives.
A healer needed to think more than just about healing those in front of them. They had to expand and improve their current class. What it meant to be a healer had to be changed. They were the same as researchers. Or as mages. They needed to search through their knowledge and improve it as well.
"The saintess has spent a lot of time creating this skill with knowledge we already have. What else can you do if you put your mind to it? What if you followed me? As a head nun I am limited to what I can do that is not magical in nature. So tell me, can you purify bandages, buff the healing potion, and also enhance the healing effects of the cotton filled with medicine?" The head nun that spoke up continued the lesson as Alice watched with a spark in her eyes. She was living a brilliant future right then and there. She could watch as healers were inspired to become more than what they were right now.
