An important healing spell for preventing characters from dying.

Description

Heal Mortal Wound is the first spell that can cure torso wounds. This is most often used to keep characters alive you don't want to see dead, but is generally not used on characters who you are closest to. The reason for this is that generally speaking a character with a torso wound has probably lost body points, and taken a few limb wounds as well. That means after healing their torso wound with Heal Mortal Wound you also need to cast Restore Limb AND Heal Body to finish healing them. Costing a total of 6 power points if you are not a master. For just 4 power points panacea does all of those things. So generally if you are casting heal mortal wound, it's to keep someone from bleeding out. Then you'll let them figure out how the rest of their injuries will be healed.

A very useful spell for casting on those people who run into battle unprepared and expect everyone else to take care of them afterwards.

Having said all that, Heal Mortal Wound, shines in one other circumstance. If MANY people all have torso wounds, it is more efficient to cast heal mortal wound on all of them and then cast Triage once to Restore Limbs and Heal Body for each of those people.
