Is healing usually a magical process? If so, how does the magical healing talent/spell work (i.e., speeding up the body's natural healing mechanism vs. doing instant repairs from outside)? Does a magical healer have to consciously direct the healing process (meaning that lots of knowledge of anatomy, etc. would be required), or does magical healing simply speed up the normal, unconscious healing process in the patient? Is there more than one kind of magical healer (as there are surgeons, eye doctors, orthopedic doctors, etc.)? Are there both magical and non-magical healers, and if so, are they rivals or simply different specialties?
Sekiyans prefer to let nature take its course when it comes to healing, but Holy magia is usually used to stabilize the patent so doctors can do what needs to be done (by manipulating the natural healing process). Just as there are different kinds of doctors in our world, so too are there different kinds of healers--the difference is how they heal. Some use potions, others herbs, some use magia, and still others a combination of these. Traditional doctors and magical healers work together most of the time, (i.e. when going into surgery, magia is your anethesia) but there are some ailments only magia can heal (traditional doctors are taught to recognize these) diseases)
