This basic form of healing magic reinforces a wounded individual's natural Essence, closing their wounds, encouraging healing and eliminating Shock. The caster must be in direct physical contact with the spell's target, and even a thin barrier such as clothing will block the spell's effects. The target's current level of Wound Penalty is added to the difficulty of the spell, meaning that more serious wounds are harder to close. If the spell is successful the target is considered to be Stabilised.

Healing Effect: Target is Stabilised
Shock Healed: 2 x Power
