Spell for restarting one's heart?
« on: February 24, 2009, 08:07:59 PM »

All,

Thoughts on what spell (Awakening?) could be used to restart a stopped heart? (Background - am interpreting the results of an electrical critical that the target's heart stopped. Of course I can change the interpretation if there isn't a good analogy. lol)

Regards,
Old Man

Heart Repair (14th level Organ Law) or similars?

Perhaps a spell mastered lower level version? Sounds promising....

Thanks,

Given truly incredible amounts of Spell Mastery and 1st Aid/2nd Aid, maybe even Shock A? (4th lvl Mentalism, RMC Spell Law pg. 226)

That can't be any farther out an idea than the defibrillator paddles EMTs use. But you'd have to have both the spell knowledge and the medical knowledge to go with it.

 Right off the top of my head I thought of the SM:P Psychic skill that repetes your bodies actions upon another. 

 But I might give the person a save of some type to have their own heart start normally after a period of time. For a spell I think maybe minor organ repair. I am away from my books but I will check the RMC Spell Law for a better answer.

Maybe we could be of more help if you tell us what the crit entry says (or what entry in which table is).

In a similar vein, are there any spells that could get someone out of a coma-- of the kind, for example, you get by a really bad ESF?

 I rule that if a coma was caused by a magic fumble then magic can not fix it unless a divine or other all powerful being steps in.

The original critical was a 2nd Ed Spell Law E Electricity 81-85 (Strike re-arranges foes nervous system... drops and dies in 12 rounds of shock.) - but I decide to tweak the game effect for healing purposes - the target dies in 12 rounds due to a heart attack (electrical rhythm disrupted).

Currently the PCs are going with second aid (for CPR) and if that doesn't work, an organ repair herb.

Regarding Comas - Minor Brain Repair? (I think there was a thread on comas a while ago, either brain repair or Awakening was suggested.)

If you could possibly light a pipe, or even shave with a fire bolt, maybe an extremely controlled shock bolt would work! Those would be some crazy high Spell Mastery skills and a really lucky roll; but why not!
It's your game. Have fun!
