"There's ones that cause chakra problems; if the underlying disease can be cured, the damage should be easy to address."

Permalink

"That sounds like a good thing to try next, then."

He confirms with the medic that they have a patient suffering from one such disease, and then leads Raafi into the quarantine ward - they have rather thorough protective equipment and cleaning procedures.

Permalink

He complies amiably. "You might find other clerics a little offended at being asked to do this, depending on sect; we usually just cure ourselves magically if we happen to pick something up."

Permalink

"Disease carriers often aren't symptomatic, and pathogens will carry on the outside of your skin without entering your body - but still being able to be passed on. We're developing techniques to flash-sterilize areas and skin, to allow field medics more leeway, but for a hospital setting this is necessary to prevent illnesses from traveling."

"We've suspected something like that, but it's not universally believed. It shouldn't be too hard to navigate, anyway, as diplomatic situations go, it'd just be bad to encounter unexpectedly."

Permalink

"Well, we can explain germ theory to any visitors, but any who refuse to take proper precautions won't be allowed to visit sick halls."

Permalink

"Probably better to let the church heirarchy handle the details, but yes, that sounds reasonable."

Permalink

"Maybe we can send pathologists over, as part of a knowledge trade."

Permalink

"I expect we'll appreciate that quite a bit."

Permalink

He nods.

And they're at the patient.

Permalink

"Would this be a good time for the second Status spell, do you think? I didn't get much from the last one."

Permalink

"Possibly, especially since we don't actually know much about this disease."

Permalink

"All right. With your permission, of course," he tells the patient.

Permalink

The patient gives it.

Permalink

Status?

Permalink

Very similar to the case of chakra exhaustion, just more severe in those metrics. Sick, too, with random chills and shakes and nausea. 

Permalink

"I'm still not getting much detail; looks like a more severe case of chakra exhaustion. I should be able to do something about the illness, though."

He casts Remove Disease, continuing to observe the patient's status magically.

Permalink

The underlying disease is cured, which seems to treat the sickness but not the chakra exhaustion.

Permalink

He reports what he's seeing. "That's about what I expected."

Permalink

"Chakra exhaustion's at least more treatable."

"Thank you. It's good to know that works."

Permalink

Nod. "I can come back with another batch of spells tomorrow, if you'd like."

Permalink

"I think we'd appreciate that; diseases like this are tricky for us to solve."

Permalink

"About how many sick people do you have right now?"

Permalink

Some quick discussion: "At this hospital, twelve in the disease quarantine unit, and this one is the only one focusing on long-term care. There's some out patients with more minor illnesses."
