It's almost too strong of a handicap to call yourself a conjuror.
My character is a novice conjurer. She can manage with external injuries (and she had a bunch of practice as of late..) but when it comes to internal wounds and *gasp* raising she tends to bork it. The one time she tried raising someone she did it incorrectly and almost ended up killing herself.
She can't see an incapacitated person now without freaking out that she's going to have to try again and mess up. There is a lot of confusion regarding Raise as well but that is a subject for another thread.
I'd suggest giving A'ria a little more room to breathe. Maybe she's in the process of learning how to pull aether to use for her spells. Instead of literally chopping years off her life.
I had thought about mentioning this, so thanks for doing it for me. Â I hesitated because people can be very protective of character concepts. Â
But yes, this concept would ultimately result in the death of the character, and probably much quicker than "years." In the Conjurer questline, Selphie probably had less than a year - if that - left before she would have died. If I remember correctly, according to E-Sumi-Yan, all it would have taken is a serious Raise or a complicated, difficult healing to have killed her given that she was constantly going around healing things.I should probably also mention that this concept is by no means unique. Â I know of at least three other characters I've run into in-game that are playing variations on this very same concept. Â The self-sacrificing faith healer archetype seems to be fairly popular.
