healing magic

Mending through enchantment

Healing magic is the fictional ability to cure injuries, diseases, or ailments through supernatural means—spells, divine power, or mystical energy.

A staple of fantasy games and literature, it ranges from minor wound treatment to resurrection: The cleric cast healing magic on the fallen warrior.

Characters who specialize in healing magic often serve as party support, keeping allies alive during combat.
