[QUOTE="Immortal Sun, post: 7602029"] Clerical healing is based on the faith of the target, the greater their true faith, the more effective their healing and the "cleaner" the results. Clerical healing actually [I]injures[/I] ala "inflict wounds" the unfaithful, the heretical and those faithful to gods against their own. In fact one of the best ways for the church to expunge non-believers was to simply attempt to heal them a little bit. Eventually this resulted in an oppressive and totalitarian church that went door-to-door "healing" people under the guise of "helping the poor" but was really an excuse to purge the unfaithful. By the time time the King took action, many of the high-nobles had already been exiled, killed or imprisoned in "faith camps" and the majority of the remaining population was fiercely religious, so once the King raised his hand against the Church the Church used it as an excuse to eliminate the King and his family. Oh wait, that was the basis for my human "Empire of the Sun" Zarus worshipping empire. Interesting note: the elves of Lorwyn(MTG setting) were a perfection-obsessed people, who used scars and physical blemishes as the basis for their caste system. Those who were too ugly were infested with a special vine that turned them into murderous puppets under the control of elf wizards. However, elite often used powerful illusion magic to make themselves appear perfect even when they were not. Via the MTG magic system they would have been using "druidic" healing. [/QUOTE]
