Great Heal, or Greater Heal, is a much stronger healing magic.

Spell Description[edit]

If an adventurer is suffering from wounds too complex for the Heal spell, then he should upgrade to Great Heal. Thanks to the addition of mandrake root, this spell restores all health, although the mage will have to pay with more reagents and mana for it. Like Heal, it does not cure poison.

If even this spell is not enough to heal the wounds, then only Restoration can help.

History[edit]

Like the lesser healing spells, these were not available during most of the Age of Darkness, where healing was a privilege of monarchs. Only with Ultima III did that situation change. Together with the lesser healing spells, the strong healing spell Sanctu Mani became available to the adventurer for use in the wilderness. While the art of stronger healing spells got lost for a time after the defeat of Exodus, it was rediscovered by the time of Lord Blackthorn and became part of the standard set of spells for a mage.

Lore[edit]

U9-FullHeal.png
“ Whole health restored; full vitality given; such is the nature of Vas Mani. A miraculous spell requiring concentration and vast knowledge of anatomy, Vas Mani is reserved for experience mages.
Vas Mani fully restores patients from combat wounds. While it provides neither antidote to poison nor cure for disease, Vas Mani does heal all damage wrought by these ravagers, ensuring survival until a cure can be found.
The difficulty in preparing Vas Mani is in locating the mandrake root; otherwise the preparation is straightforward; mix the mandrake root with ginseng and spider silk.
To cast Vas Mani successfully, the caster must concentrate totally on the subject to be healed. When the concentration is full, one can actually see wounds heal. Because the healing process can take several hours, Vas Mani cannot be used during combat.


“ Restores one’s health fully.


“ Brings you back to your original vigor (full Vitality).
