The old imperial elves were advanced practitioners, bioengineers who could create new species and combine human and animal traits into peoples like the <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wiki\/beastheads\/\" class=\"wikilink-published\">beastheads<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wiki\/centaurs\/\" class=\"wikilink-published\">centaurs<\/a>, or combine different animals into creatures like the <span class=\"wikilink-no-edit\">flying horses<\/span> and the <span class=\"wikilink-no-edit\">gryphons<\/span>. Little of their ancient knowledge survives in the hands of humans, only enough for medical use.<\/p>\n<p>There are blurred boundaries between lifemagic and mindmagic, and between <span class=\"wikilink-no-edit\">healers<\/span> and <span class=\"wikilink-no-edit\">mindhealers<\/span>. A good healer will possess <em>living insight<\/em>, the ability to perceive the patient\u2019s body processes, and the <em>unseen touch<\/em>, the ability to influence those processes (blood flow; cell division, growth and function; digestion; immune response; neurochemistry, to a degree, and glandular activity; and detoxification). Healers are also able to adjust their patients\u2019 pain perception and initiate the Healer\u2019s Sleep, a form of unconsciousness during which healing is accelerated. Non-healers can also learn to perform the Healer&#8217;s Sleep on willing patients, but full healers (and mindmages) can impose it without the patient&#8217;s cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the elves\u2019 creations, like the <span class=\"wikilink-no-edit\">medicine cattle<\/span> which give pharmaceutical milk, have been preserved and even improved (by selective breeding), while others, like the process for turning the sap of a certain tree into a useful polymer called <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wiki\/hardlac\/\" class=\"wikilink-published\">hardlac<\/a>, have been lost.<\/p>\n<p>University-trained practitioners of lifemagic have bracelets of bone or ivory. Healers also wear a distinctive round hat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"wiki_cats":[],"wiki_tags":[57],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yada_wiki\/2004"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yada_wiki"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/yada_wiki"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yada_wiki\/2004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2005,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yada_wiki\/2004\/revisions\/2005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wiki_cats","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki_cats?post=2004"},{"taxonomy":"wiki_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/gryphonclerks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki_tags?post=2004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
