Major Healing (VH)

Regular 
Restores up to 8 HP to the subject. Does not eliminate disease or poison, but will cure damage caused by these things. 
Otherwise, this spell functions just like Minor Healing: it is at -3 per casting on the same subject in one day, and PhysicianTL skill at level 15 or higher will mitigate the effects of a critical failure. 
The penalties for repeated casting accrue separately for Minor Healing and Major Healing. For instance, a caster could cast both spells on the same subject in the same day at no penalty.

Cost: 1 to 4. Twice the amount spent is restored to the subject. 
Prerequisites: Magery 1 and Minor Healing.

Item 
Wand or staff decorated in a snake pattern. The item must touch the subject. Usable only by mages, or by non-mages with Physician skill 20 or higher.  
Energy cost to create: 1,500.
