[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4121906, member: 30610"] Why does it have to be a thing in order to remove direct action? It seems to me that's a pretty big assumption you're making. I don't see why it should have to be "a person, place, or thing" to heal you. A spell isn't a person, place or thing either; it's a bundle of abstract metaphysical energy that does not necessarily have any physical being. Fast healing isn't a thing either, under your criteria, but it typically signifies some sort of superior physiology or connection to the positive energy plane (negative energy, for vampires) - and it can heal you. If fast healing can't heal you because it has no physical being, then how can a spell (which has no physical being either, being just disembodied magical energy) heal you? The implication I draw from this is that it is not necessarily for something to have physical being to be responsible for healing you. [/QUOTE]
