Trusk'our he/him Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 (edited) Quick thought here; since high levels of Investiture can help heal someone, would keeping an injured (non powered) person in a Shardpool make them recover more quickly? Or, since the Investiture isn't actually a part of them, would it be ineffective? Edited May 7, 2024 by Trusk'our Misspelled ineffective. Fixed it. 4

However, based on the content of those WoBs (too many to copy paste - hence the link) it seems like the primary question would then become "what are you trying to heal." Investiture on it's own seems to boost the immune system, but for healing things like wounds, your SpiritWeb needs to have some aspect that directs healing toward your Spiritual Ideal (through the Cognitive lens). For more complex healing or healing others, you need some way to direct the investiture in what to heal and how (WoBs ref AonDor, ReSealing, Regrowth, Etc.) with the exception of Breth which acts like the former - healing the recipient according to thier Spiritual Ideal (through the Cognitive lens). 1

You need a way to draw that investiture in and turn it into a healing power and a non-powered individual doesn't have that ability. Even a Coinshot won't be able to use that to heal. 2

Agreed, and I think it's also for the same reasons that having lots of Breaths Investing you will grant Immortality but not heal you, and even a Divine Breath wont unless maybe they can learn to back into it via control of their Shapeshifting?
