[QUOTE="Kristivas, post: 2707480, member: 34179"] Madam Pomfrey required a night to regrow all of the bones in Harry's arm. Not mend, regrow. Potter-style magic is way advanced in some ways (wizards can heal), and way behind in others (they have to have a wand in hand to pretty much cast at all). However.... In the debate on how powerful magic is or is not. With Divine magic, I tend to go at it like this.... A cleric is channeling the awesome might of his/her deity. So long as the cleric uses the spell correctly, the magic itself is perfect (as it's from a god). Arcane magic, however, has to be studied (except in the case of sorcerers, but we were talking about the sage in the lab-kinda thing) and could take years to develop he proper spell. I don't think this is so with the cleric. One thing, however, if a bone does get broken in one of my games, the cleric is required to set the bone before healing, or else he healed it as though it healed naturally without setting properly. That's why the Heal skill isn't skipped over by anyone brave enough to play a cleric in our games! :P [/QUOTE]
