"...You have a word for germs. And organs. And lungs and hearts and nutrition. I'm almost out of translating."

"I have translation, though I think it'll be a little clunkier than yours."

He reaches for the yellow gem, looking to see if the stranger is going to stop him.

No, they just agreed he should have the healing power. "Do you have a design, or a few?"

He's speaking English now.

"I'm asking about them now... It's weird. I just read 'yellow is healing' but that's not quite right. It's something else that healing is easy to get from? It wants to spread out?"

"To spread out?" she repeats, in English, with a fairly pronounced accent.

"Yeah." He waves his arms out wide. "Go everywhere. Make other things more that thing. It could make plants grow too."

"Is it... accelerating time?"

"I think it wants to be nice? Or something? What the crystals can do is weird. There's not a word for what a red crystal can do except just 'red crystal things'. My ideas for healing magic is one that tells the magic to make your body be more alive but not in a cancer way which seems slower but like a good fit for yellow, and one that makes your own healing go way faster, I think that will make you really hungry. And one that can change what a body part is like if you know what it should be like instead but then I will need to get books about doctoring and it's kind of gross but I know bones should be straight and skin should not be bleeding or infected."

"One of the ideas that turned out to be way too expensive for recharging my pocket everything was restoring stuff to a previous physical state."

"...Yellow says it can't do that at all."

"Huh. Can I touch it and interrogate it a bit, I won't use it."

...He holds it in two fingers in a way where she can touch it, too.

Poke. Hi, yellow gem. What's this healing-growing-spreading thing you do?

It could give her the ability to make things heal or grow in a big wide area! Line of sight, as if the magic were light, is especially good.

She could get various abilities to make a pattern or substance become more of itself? Disrupted body to a whole and nicely patterned cohesive body (I.E. healing). Make a clover patch cover a wider area. Fractal patterns in sand.

Huh. Bringing things into - alignment with other things nearby?

.......Ish? Not really.

Would it be good at cleaning? De-noising data? Weaving and knitting?

Yes on cleaning! Not really, no on data. And yes on weaving.

In a relatively naive healing power is it copying a state of health from something?

...It could definitely make a healing magic that abstracts a hypothetical ideal state of health from the thing being healed and adjusts towards that?

Where does it get its hypotheticals? The genes or something?

.......It could do a power that gets hypotheticals from genes? That's slightly pricier.

"These things are weird. I'm not sure I'll have any particularly amazing insights assuming you'd like a healing power and not one for weaving."

"Yeah they're weird. I think I'm going to ask for magic to change living things. And a little bit of blue for knowing what I'm changing and what healthy looks like. I could use it for healing and for doctoring and maybe gardening too..."
