[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1459616, member: 5777"] Remember, this is just a game, not everyone wants to get down to the gritty like you are wanting to do for this spell ;) It sounds like you are wanting to cut out the options that, I feel, are what it is mainly for. Saving yourself from certain situations that arise, such as from hp loss and such. Since those are very hard to talk about in character terms it should be fine to talk about them in player terms and have the character translate, this should be easy and fine really.
