Recovery

Recovery (Japanese: 治癒リカバリィ, Kanji translation: Be at peace Healing, Romaji: rikabarī) is a basic white magic healing spell.

The spell actually does not heal the target directly, but rather hastens his or her natural healing rate, which makes wounds close and disappear in a matter of minutes or seconds, depending on the seriousness of the injury. However, such a process is exhausting for the human body, and therefore casting Recovery on someone who is already weak because of injury or illness will do more harm than good; the recipient may very well die. In such a case, using Resurrection is necessary. Furthermore, the spell also affects any bacteria or viruses inside the target's body, so casting it on a diseased person may actually worsen the disease.

It is rumored that casting the spell on undead may have a reverse effect, damaging the creatures instead of healing them.
