And that sounds like an interesting thing for Eirin. Does it use Craft (Alchemy)?
Heal. She's a space nurse after all.
That would imply surgery. Eirin's abilities are specifically drugs.
Wait a second, you can use the Heal skill to perform surgery in D&D now? Where? Last time I readed it, only allowed for first aid, treating poisons and diseases, and long-term care (aka nursing).
Other touhou characters could be called alchemists of sorts (Marisa sure beats Eirin when it comes to brewing explosive stuff). Only the lunarian nurse can be claimed to have healing training.
It's removing the concept of death from an entity using drugs and powers over eternity. Then there's the drugs that insure a sweet dream. And using Heal to poison people seems... kind of ridiculous. Plus basically all the given uses for the skill is basic first aid. >_>;
The line between a medicine and hallucinogenic is pretty thin. The diference between a medicine and a poison is often just how much you give to the other person.
Learning how to heal people means knowing what doesn't hurt them. Meaning that you know exactly what hurts them. Any talented medic knows a million different ways to screw up your body, it's just that they're expected to avoid doing those things.
Who do you think I am?
I'm not giving any personal opinion. Just dishing back stuff you say about yourself back at you. If you want to contradict yourself its you own business but it makes keeping track of what you approve and do not approve difficult. It seemed to be an issue when you first said that since it justified why you denied Ichirin a discipline all her own. Or whichever reason you had for saying that.
Yuuka is one of the most popular characters out there. Plenty of material around for inspiration, including a lack of other characters doing similar stuff. Ichirin... Not so much. So basically same reason because you denied Miko a discipline all her own. We didn't notice there were other spellcards around the corner, thus bundled it all up with other characters and went ahead with it.
We could say the exact same thing about half or more of the Touhou abilities out there. Didn't stop either of us from turning them into actual abilities, did it?
Half or more? Now you're the one pulling my leg.
Meh, more than one person I spoke with claims that Touhou is nothing more than silly girls playing fireworks with fancy names against each other, and that nobody could actually ever get hurt.
