My healing magic isn't great. It's better than what it was and has come pretty far in the last few years. I've dealt a lot in breaking curses, or keeping people alive or finding ways to bring them back. I have friends who are much faster and stronger than I am, so they were the ones doing most of the physical fighting.
I have a basic idea of how to use a sword from a spell I was under a while ago. But I mean basic. I forget a lot of it. Being able to wield one must come in handy. How long were you training with it for?
