	Wound reduction can increase the number of wounds you can safely transfer to your own body before you need to heal yourself, but unless you can predict the reduction with 100% accuracy, you probably shouldn't take an otherwise-lethal wound under the assumption that it will be reduced to a survivable level.

			*Scar Tax: Is the term applied to the situation of empaths receiving double the scar amount when healing via the transfer/take method. The patient has a chest wound, the empath heals the fresh wound leaving a scar on the patient. The empath now has a chest wound, the patient has a scar. The empath heals the chest wound on themself. The Patient now has a chest scar, and the empath now has a chest scar. If the chest scar is bad enough, transferring the patient's chest scar to themself without healing their own scar on their chest can be fatal. This doubling up of scars is the "scar tax" - it is additional scarring that is only created through the healing process.

	More commonly, over-healing happens when the Empath fails to pay attention to the gradual accumulation of wounds and scars. Once a vital wound reaches "useless" level, you die.

	For instant full healing, nothing beats the [[Fountain of Creation]] spell. It is an esoteric spell that requires 250 ranks in utility and 22 stamina to start using. With enough mana, it can potentially heal all of your wounds. (If you don't supply enough mana, it will start with whatever wounds are listed first in your HEALTH output.) The more injured you are, the more mana it takes. Casting this spell causes vitality loss and fatigue, and you will have to wait 60 seconds before you can cast this spell again.<br>		For instant full healing, nothing beats the [[Fountain of Creation]] spell.
