Healing

Healing is the ability or spell, as the name suggests, to magically healing one's injuries, wounds or diseases.

Description

The users frequently use this ability (or spell) to heal minor, non-life threatening injuries, or restore an individual to full health. The critical wounds require more strength and skills, sometimes need pay the price of healing someone on the brink of death with magic.

The spell usually appears as purple light, but it can appear as yellow light, green light, and white light. But, it depends on the caster of the spell.

If a weapon is enchanted to kill someone, the said person cannot heal any wounds caused by the same weapon.

Known Limitations

Injuries inflicted with enchanted weapons hinder with the proper functioning of Healing Spells.
- A sword can be enchanted to prevent a certain person from being able to heal wounds inflicted with it. ("The Price")
- A wound inflicted with Excalibur can be temporarily cured by magic, but it will reappear shortly. ("Birth")
Injuries that came from someone's magic cannot be healed by the same person's magic. ("Sisters")
If a person is injured with a blood magic, they can only be healed by someone related to them, who also have magic. ("Sisters")
Whenever someone doesn't pay the price of healing someone on the brink of death with magic, the formerly afflicted person may be hunted down by Furies, who are sent to take them to the Underworld. For example: when Emma Swan, as the Dark One, saved Robin Hood's life as a favor to Regina, the price of saving Robin's life is for someone to die and it was Regina who was supposed to pay the price. However, since the God of the Underworld, Hades, died, things have changed down in the Underworld and it seems like the Furies doesn't collect any unpaid price of magic anymore. As Emma clearly healed Ashley Boyd and Hook from the Wish Realm who were on the brink of death, and she was not hunted by any Fury. ("The Price", "Last Rites", "The Other Shoe", "A Pirate's Life")
