He waits until they're on the way to the next patient to say "getting new cleric spells doesn't work quite like you're imagining; I don't do my own spell development. If Fharlanghn gives me a chakra-healing spell it'll work whether I understand it or not."

"Ah. I don't know how that would react with a magical item - and chakra exhaustion is a result of using chakra. Theoretically it's possible to immediately replenish chakra, but I'd be wary of an exhaustion-preventing item also preventing chakra use."

He nods. "You'd really want a magic specialist for questions about that; I can tell you about the general shape of how my magic works, but it definitely interacts at least a little strangely with chakra - I wouldn't expect it to block chakra use, but I wasn't expecting it to have any risk of being uncomfortable for that last man, either."

"I do think understanding more about each other's magics would help, but our system is very amenable to analysis."

"Ours too, I'm just not trained in it. You might have more luck talking to Ertan, once he's settled in."

"That'd be something to consider, yes. Still, there's no rush; I don't mind letting him settle for a little bit."

Nod.

Next patient?

An Uchiha woman, her eyes intact but unable to focus, her sight gone. She's intent, still, giving off the impression of someone watching Raafi closely.

She consents to the treatment a bit brusquely.

And he casts.

She grins, her eyes swirling to red with an odd trilaterally symmetrical black pattern in them, like a sweeping blade. "Sight's back," she confirms as her eyes return to black.

"Good."

"Thanks for the help. Your fancy magic do anything about missing eyes?"

"It can, but it takes a much more powerful spell."

She nods. "Thanks. Don't know if you plan to stick around, but just this was helpful."

"You're welcome. Hopefully you won't need me again, but I'll be in and out."

"I doubt the underlying problem's solved; degenerative blindness is a result of some of my techniques."

"Ah. Well, I can always cast it again. How often do you expect to need it?"

"Last time it took me a few years to get this bad, and I expect I'll be on the front less than I was last time."

"I expect it to be much easier to get ahold of my sort of healing by then."

"That's good."

He nods and returns his attention to Tobirama. "All right. I expect we want to save the Regeneration for Madara. I do still have two Heal spells - the one that covers a range of types of damage - but I don't expect them to help with chakra damage and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone trying; we can use those for something else, though, and the same with the Restoration spell, though if it's going to be hard to get diamonds here I'd rather skip that, it uses diamond dust. I think Remove Curse will be better used to test how our magic systems interact; that leaves us with a casting of Remove Disease and one more Remove Blindness."

"We should have someone else with blindness, yes - what sorts of diseases can your spell handle?"

"Any mundane disease and most magical ones; some magical ones need it cast by a sufficiently powerful caster, or additional treatment at the same time."

"What about diseases with magical effects, that appear to be of mundane origins?"

"I'd expect Remove Disease to cure the disease itself, but I wouldn't be surprised if the magical effect needed to be removed separately. That's how it works with poison; it's a separate spell to heal any damage it's already done, but it won't get worse after the poison is neutralized."
