Oh man, when Chris stabbed Marth I was like MERCY KILLING?? for all of two seconds, before I was like WAIT AUM! AWESOME.
Aum. Awesome. You've really pulled out a cool concept here that can only find analogy in our crazy lands of magic and sorcery, and in a way that blends very well with everything else we know.
I would've voted for it.
Somewhat irrelevantly,
Katarina had explained it to her once, how battle magic and healing magic complemented one another. And the unspeakable holy magic that Lady Elice could access, it seemed, acted in the same way.
I first read this the wrong way. In the context of frail!Marth, I thought it was saying that it mended wounds by stealing life from that person's future, which might be kind of an interesting idea perhaps, and explains why doctors still exist. (The nobility will need that life; soldiers and peasants probably aren't going to see it.)
