healing spell
Magical wound mender
A healing spell is a magical incantation or ritual in fantasy fiction and games that restores health, cures wounds, or removes ailments.
The term belongs primarily to role-playing games and video games, where healing spells form a core mechanic: The cleric cast a healing spell on the wounded fighter.
Outside gaming contexts, the phrase appears in discussions of folk magic or spiritual practices claiming curative powers.
