Tales-from-the-robins-nest - Game Inspiration

I always see the whump community hating on healing magic but GUYS

Everyone can survive more injuries. Go nuts.

Healing magic that exhausts the user, leading to an entire team of whumpees when the healer faints after saving their wounded friends.

Healers in pain tearing out pieces of their own life force to save the life of a friend.

Healing magic that works best with contact and close proximity: holding the whumpee’s hand, stroking their hair, forehead kisses, whumpees being held and cuddled…

Very sore and weak whumpees who just recovered from something too quickly.

Healing magic that hurts…

Healing magic that feels good and warm, soothing the whumpee’s consciousness away into a deep sleep in the healer’s arms.

Characters with a healing factor putting themselves between their friends and the threat, taking bullets for teammates because they can heal.

Characters with healing factors being tortured or cruelly experimented on.

Healing stasis: limp, broken, very unconscious whumpees behind glass or floating or laid out on an altar.

The whumpee coming out of stasis taking quite a while to fully regain consciousness.

Healers saving everyone else but passing out before they can heal themselves.

Consider:

A standard portal fantasy where a person falls through time and ends up in medieval times– but they have brightly colored hair.

They walk into the nearest tavern thinking this must be some novelty tourist trap, and as soon as people take one look at them they’re chased out with whatever cold iron tools the locals have on them, cries of “faerie!” ringing in their ears.
