Chapter 317: Sonya’s Foot
Elin sat next to Heather as she could feel Heather's magic flowing into Sonya's injured foot. While she couldn't say why it wasn't healing as quickly as Heather had been able to heal the rest of them the day before, Elin could sense that Sonya's foot was slowly starting to get better. Just not as fast as she would have expected.
"Assess," Elin said, looking at Sonya's foot. She didn't expect that her spell would interfere with Heather's healing, but she did worry that Heather's emotions might be taking a turn for the worse with how long it was taking. She hoped to find something that she could share with Heather to keep her from despairing about her efforts.
As Elin felt her MP flow out of her, she saw a window appear in front of her. As she read the text that was in the window, she wasn't sure she even understood it. "Uh, my spell says something about Sonya's foot being hurt by something astral or other and that it's not going to heal like it should until the effect wears off and that it can't be dispelled or removed through other means."
"What do you mean?" Sonya asked, sounding a little aggravated, not that Elin could blame her.
"My best guess is that it just means until the effect wears off, that we won't be able to fully heal your foot," Elin answered.
"How long will that effect last?" Heather asked, sounding just as happy as Sonya was about the news.

"I-I'm not sure," she replied after a moment, not sure what else to say. "If you'd like, I could see if my treat spell would affect it in any way."
"I thought you said that it couldn't be dispelled or removed," Heather asked, sounding like she was on the verge of losing hope.
"I know what I said, but what it says for when it'll go away is just weird symbols and stuff. I'm not sure when it'll go away like this, but if I use treat, then maybe those symbols will change to something I can understand."
"Go ahead," Sonya said. "It's not like we've got anything to lose."
Elin didn't waste any time after she heard that from Sonya. "Treat," she said firmly,
