Big Grin Magical healing is magical after all, and, say, only letting a Cure spell shave a week off of a months long recovery for a wound purely for the sake of machismo does a disservice to the healers.

Now, with regards to "but healing magic kills off my ability to have drama", we do have instances in game where characters with immediate access to instant magical healing still suffer lasting and dramatic consequences (in spoilers at the end). So obviously, curative magic, no matter how magical and miraculous, does still have limits - loss of limbs, neurological damage, excessive trauma - but by the same token, fixing cuts and puncture wounds should be fairly negligible.

SpoilersEdda and the head of her adventuring party, Rhauban losing an arm, the lalafel from the Company of Heroes who went blind, Ser Haurchefant Greystone, RIP. Cry On the other hand, when Ser Aymeric takes a near fatal stab wound ("He would have died in moments if he had not received aid"), he receives prompt treatment and is in good enough shape to be up and about shortly after you arrive on scene.

SpoilerEdda was an unskilled, inexperienced Conjurer, who apparently wasn't all that good at what she did. Raubhan was most likely deliberately denied magical healing. Though he obviously was at least triaged, given that he had bandages, the fact that he needed bandages indicates that a magical healer almost certainly never saw him (because had one seen him, they should have at least been able to close the wound and leave it bloodless, eliminating the need for bandages at all). Haurchefant was not in range of healers, it appears (although I screamed at my computer screen because HI I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE WITH BENEDICTION YOU TWITS). Also, I've noticed that NPC Ishgardian "Conjurers" don't seem all that concerned with actual healing of serious wounds. There's one in Whitebrim, for instance, who just stands in the middle of some dying men and is like, "The Fury is super happy with y'all." No visible attempt at magic (even to ease pain). Given the emphasis they have on chirgueons (I can't spell it - you know what I'm talking about), it's possible that there simply wasn't a magical healer available.

None of this is an indication that, in game, magical healers couldn't have treated each person in each situation. It just means that either the magical healer was incompetent (in the case of Edda) or never saw the patient in question (Raubhan, Haurchefant).

And yeah, ain't it interesting that Aymeric got instant attention and apparently was just fine an hour later?

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
