Gaining information on a rival business or loved one, or the person who murdered your Aunt Mildred via Divination costs 2 months salary. For the truly wealthy (or those in the good graces of a particular faith) you can have a limb regenerated, be cured of cancer or other diseases, be brought back from the dead months after dying, be cured of blindness or deafness etc.All far more advanced than our current medical technology allows, and beyond even Star Trek levels of medical technology.</blockquote>
