Episode 8.10-11 (2/2)
”Go ahead if you can.”
”<Appraisal>”
He couldn't read anything.
”Unappraisable?”
”That's how it is. This is also a type of Grace, you see. This Grace-laden sword possesses a Grace called <Comet Slash>, there's a special way to wield it.”
”Hou.”
”You'd get to appraise it one of these days once you've gotten better with your Appraisal skill, surely.”

The next day, Lecan finally managed to cast <Recovery>.
”Alright. Now you just hafta need to practice on it regularly. Though <Recovery> itself is handy, casting it when you dissolve my Wound Salve in water, or casting it after smearing the salve will rapidly raise its efficacy, healing you faster.”
”That's nice.”
”The effects of <Recovery> you see, are contingent on the life force of both the user and the recipient.”
”Contingent?”
”Meaning that it depends on.”
Both Lecan's mana and life force are high. Hence, the <Recovery> he cast on himself will be highly effective, and will still be very effective even if he cast another <Recovery> on a new wound right after another.
But what if Lecan attempts to use <Recovery> on other people. Since Lecan's mana is high, the effects will be dramatic at first. However, since the recipient's life force cannot catch up to it, successive usage of <Recovery> will quickly lose its effects, and eventually get to zero efficacy.
In exchange of not having side effects and limits of Magic Water and Potions, <Recovery> is restricted in some other ways.
”<Recovery> you see. The best way to use it is not by casting a really powerful one once, but by continuously putting weak <Recovery> many times over a long period of time. Don't ever forget this point. And also, there are two kinds of <Recovery>. The quick but rough way which fits adventurers, and the precise and careful way that complies to symptoms and stamina used by medical practitioners. The rough method may be well suited for dungeon usage, but since you're studying under me and all, I might as well teach you the precise method.”
