Type / Skill:	healing / empathy
Description:	Salvur's nostrils flare. "Redirect? Pah. I didn't get into this line to heal Prydaen tails, but that seems to be the thing most people think the redirect ability is most useful for. Prydaen tails! The researchers who discovered it must be -mortified-. I know I would be. Redirect simply lets you choose where to transfer an injury. Prydaen tails." Salvur rolls his eyes extravagantly and gouges his stick into the turf. When you do not immediately leave, he narrows his eyes at you. "Still here? Not satisfied with Prydaen tails? Harrumph. Redirect is really most useful in triage situations, if you -must- know. Think about it! Use your brain! You can transfer a critical chest wound to your arm, leg, eye...anything you can spare more than you can spare your chest. It really has revolutionized battle triage. I raise my glass to the researchers. Metaphorically, of course." Salvur frowns sourly. He closes his eyes and grows still, then looks up at you pensively. "Hmm. I suppose you are ready to learn about redirect yourself, aren't you? Fine. Come here." Salvur takes your arm roughly, and does -something- that you can only sense with your supernatural empathy. He repeats the process over and over, then releases your arm with a grumble. "If you haven't learned it by now, you're not going to. Just go out and try it. See how you do." Dagreth considers you silently for a few moments before speaking. "Redirect, yes. A handy thing to know. Contrary to what you may have heard, not all Empaths have tails. The redirect ability allows us to choose where to transfer a given injury, or even all injuries. Healing a bruised S'Kra Mur tail as a Dwarf is then possible. Simply redirect the wound from the tail to your hand, say, or leg, or head. Easy." He continues, "-Very- useful for a battle healer, you'll find. Transfer injuries to vital areas to things you won't miss so much. Chest to arm, head to eye. Very useful indeed. But one must be very careful, as it adds another thing to keep track of in triage. And there is usually enough to worry about to start." Dagreth grasps your forearm gruffly, a tingle flashing all through your body. After a few more moments he nods then says, "You're ready to learn, I think. Pay attention now. It's a delicate operation..." He spends several roisaen demonstrating the technique for you, until you're certain you can carry it out yourself. Dagreth says, "Be careful with that, now." He nods at you once more before turning away. K'miriel brightens and says, "Oooh, yes. What a useful ability for us. I'm -so- glad the researchers chose to share it. Whatever would we do without it? It lets you choose where to transfer a wound that you're taking from a patient. So an Empath without a tail, say, can transfer a Prydaen's tail wound to their hand! And the same for S'Kra Mur, of course. And that's just the beginning of what it can do really." She muses, taking a sip of her tea. She continues, "Now, redirect is really most useful in triage situations. So many wounded in critical areas, so many dead from critical wounds." She sighs sadly. "With redirect, those critical wounds can easily be transferred to a less dangerous spot on the Empath. Though of course we really do need all our parts -- we're not going to accomplish much without an abdomen or a head, are we?" K'miriel beams at you, taking both of your hands in hers. She draws you close in a gentle hug then exclaims, "Oh, <PLAYER>, I think you're ready to learn about redirect. I'm so glad. Here, let me show you..." She releases one of your hands, but continues to hold the other, allowing you to feel her actions as she demonstrates the ability through your supernatural empathy. After a few moments she smiles widely at you and says, "I think you've got it! Now go out and practice!"
