She watched Giga carefully with something akin to affection starting to warm up in her heart. She really liked the pure-hearted bird, she liked her earnest desire to help, and she liked her focus. And she kept her smile as they both watched the cut on her hand slowly knit itself together, forming neat scar tissue. She turned around her hand and opened and closed it, feeling the new flesh, and she grinned now, her little fangs glinting. "Congratulations, Giga, you've healed your first wound." And softly, she added, "I'm glad you're here too."
"Now, this spell won't work for everything, and you have to keep that in mind. It won't heal burned flesh or huge lacerations, but it will help if you come across someone who is suffering and in a lot of pain from, let's say, poison or electricity, for some examples. You can numb the pain with this spell and push out poison and most minor illnesses from the body."
She pointed to the big gash on her knee that she'd gotten from a nasty fall whilst trying to climb up one of the buildings in Orion. "This one wouldn't heal with that spell. It would really help, but you'd either have to heal this with poultices and bandaging or with a weaving spell, so I'll show you both."
"Keep in mind that no one is perfect," She laughed a little. "And even doctors can mess up."
With that, she lowered her gaze to her knee with a wistful smile, and her gem finger glowed with a soft golden light. Little plant tendrils raised their little fingers through her skin and weaved themselves together in and over the wound, knitting the flesh together.
"This spell you have to monitor, because the plant matter will rot, and you have to remove it once it's healing sufficiently. This spell in particular is for huge wounds that need to close, like...big gaping holes in one's chest, or long lacerations down the back." Her mind flashed to Bog, and she shook the thought away.
"Now, to bind such a wound, just in case magic doesn't work..." She eyed Giga's wings and bit her bottom lip a little. "You may be able to get away with asking those to do as you ask, so knowing how to make this is half the battle." She opened her pack and took out some red flowers and some blue leaves she'd collected. "I'll show you where to get these later. This one brings down inflammation, kills infection, and this one numbs the pain. So you put this into a bowl..." She showed her large acorn bowl she used. "And a medium," She poured some honey into the acorn and pulled out a nice round stone, "And mash it all together into a nice even goop. The honey will make the leaves stick and seal the wound in an air-tight substance and won't rot." With her fingers, she brushed the goop onto the woven skin, then took some clean cloth and wound it around her knee and patted down the cloth onto the honey so it stuck tight, then tied it all off.
"You have to make sure everything you use is clean...so having water on hand is generally quite useful. Those are two ways to bind a wound," She said. "Hopefully you won't come across anyone that needs such serious attention till much later in your life."
