Medical Magic

Medical Magic is a multi-disciplinary field combining Divination (to diagnose illness) and Alteration (to heal wounds and cure disease).
Classification: Specialization Parent School: Alteration

Technique Glyph Doctrine

Doctrine Pair: Faden + Kreis

Medical Magic emphasizes precision stabilization, triage sequencing, and low-collateral intervention.

Fictional Permission

When you hold Medical Magic in your Grimoire, you have specific fictional positioning.

Medical Magic CAN:

• Stabilize, triage, and repair tissue using Alteration precision paths.
• Combine with Divination fiction to diagnose before you cut or mend.
• Buy time in crisis scenes: stop bleeding, splint the soul's envelope, patch organs.

Medical Magic CANNOT:

• Erase consequences of Soul Magic, curses, or Mind Magic without crossing schools and raising stakes.
• Mass-create matter from nothing (Alteration reconfigures what is already there).
• Guarantee painless or risk-free outcomes under fire; complications still apply on 7-9 and 6-.

The Core Matrix

This specialization's live-casting access follows its Technique Glyph doctrine.

Geometric Scaling (Mana Track Box Costs)

When determining the cost of a spell, the GM uses this scale. Each example uses live notation: Intent -> School -> Glyph -> Scale -> Tags.

• Trivial (0 Ticks): Cosmetic tissue tweak (flush, pigment, small swelling down). Adjust superficial tissue -> Alteration -> Faden -> trivial effect, touch range, patch skin, brief
• Regular (1 Tick): Close a minor wound or deep bruise. Knit minor injury -> Alteration -> Faden+Kreis -> standard effect, touch range, point target, instant, clean
• Hard (2 Ticks): Tamponade severe bleeding by reshaping vessels. Stop hemorrhage -> Alteration -> Fluss+Kreis -> hard effect, touch range, limb target, short
• Complex (2 Ticks): Slam-shut massive trauma for one heartbeat. Repair grievous laceration -> Alteration -> Kreis+Schmiede -> complex effect, touch range, torso volume, instant, exhausting
• Miracle (4+ Ticks): Regrow limb or organ; rare, scene-stealing work. Regrow lost structure -> Alteration -> Kreis+Schmiede+Puls -> miracle effect, touch range, whole limb, sustained ritual, costly
