Clinic: Infirmary

The last couple pricks of light gathered in her hand. Ella started to slowly walk around the bed and flakes of light started to float away and land on Veer. The appeared to be absorbed by his skin.

A warm sensation filled the room as the last bits of light floated away from Ella’s hand.

“Hold still okay?”

She turned to a cabinet and started to pull some wraps out.

“Is it alright if I put these on you? They’ll help hold everything in place while the healing happens.”

He would be able to feel the magic starting to heal the breaks in his bones.

The flakes do absorb, but the leg doesn’t heal. Instead, the rash starts to spread further, reaching the end of Veer’s left hand, and getting worryingly close to his eye. His mouth is half metal, but it works fine as he cries, “No! Stop the magic! It’s stealing it, somehow.” Luckily for Ella, her healing doesn’t seem to open an actual conduit, but rather creates discrete units of healing. Otherwise, the corrupted spellsteel could jam it open and keep drawing power.

It’s me. I figured with how you get around people, this would help you. 

"Oh." She wasn't sure how she felt about that at first, but the more she thought about it, the better an arrangement it seemed to be. She technically knew him already, albeit not very well, and she was pretty sure he didn't mean her any harm . . .

Yes, leaving might be a good idea.

“If possible.”

Clinic: Infirmary

Ella gasped and made a quick jerking motion with her hand. The gold light quickly flew away and out of him and back to her hand.

”I’m so sorry! That’s never happened before. I don’t know what went wrong.”

She wanted to leave, but . . .

"What about the man back there? He probably needs help."

If he's still alive, she thought, shuddering.

So… Ella is withdrawing power from a patient with a magical corruption known to spread… Good decision! Your choice as to whether or not it spreads to her. Should I narrate how this thing works as we go, or should I explain it all at once?

Also, are the sparks a discrete amount of power, or a source that acts over time? Because the corruption gets the power, or a version of it. 

The rash does not recede, and it seems not all the light came back. “I do; the corrupted spellsteel that eats magic ate the magic. What should we do about it?”

Do you have a way to help him?

She wrung her hands and shook her head sadly. "No. I-I wish I did."

I understand. But if you can’t help, it’d be worse to be a distraction.

Her head popped up. "Wait, who are you talking about?"

If you don’t have a way to help, you’ll only distract the medical professional. I know it stinks, but it’s the best way to help him right now.

She pointed back that way she'd come. "No, I was talking about the man . . . the one laying at the bottom of the hole in the floor. But you were talking about . . ." she pointed absently to the room where the other man was lying on the bed.

Go back a page or two, I think?

There's a hole through several floors of the building, (caused by Veer, I think), who is now in the medical wing.

There was a body at the bottom.

It was a whole thing (pun intended)

"You don't . . . what does that mean?" she asked, even quieter. She was pretty sure she knew the answer, unfortuntely.

Yes, well… for a long time I was trapped as a bird, with no memory of my humanity. Preening is a birdly sign of showing you care.
