Pluck Wound

Pluck Wound allows you to actually pick up injuries, removing them from a wounded person. Simply cast the spell on the wound you wish to remove. Then, using something other than your bare flesh (see below), lift the wound off the victim of the damage. The wound will come off in a sphere of a size proportional to the size of the wound with a weight proportional to that of a similarly-sized sphere of iron. It will appear identically to the way the wound looked while it appeared on the injured person, except that it will be wrapped around a sphere. A person whose wound has been plucked no longer has that wound. If a spell doesn’t attain enough degrees to pluck off the entire wound, the wound can be partially removed.

Whenever a wound that has had Pluck Wound cast upon it makes direct contact with living (or relatively recently dead) organic matter, the wound transfers to the organic material touching it. Once the wound transfers to another organism, it becomes impossible to remove it again without another casting of Pluck Wound. Plucked wounds will not come off onto organic matter which has been treated or processed into clothing, such as leather gloves. Naturally, if a person removes a wound without wearing some form of protective covering on the part touching the wound, they will incur the wound themselves.

Plucked wounds can be used as weapons, although since even light clothing negates their effect entirely, they are not exceptional in this capacity. They are exceptionally effective in sneak attacks and combat versus naked people, however.

Spell Components

• The caster must squeeze the juice from a fruit onto the hand to be used in plucking the wound while murmuring an incantation; the hand then glows slightly in the color of the fruit.

Limitations and Notes:

• Plucked wounds decompose slowly, becoming ineffective in a number of days equal to the severity of the wound.
• Plucked wounds cannot be added together to create more massive wounds.
• You cannot pluck a wound which consists of two or more completely severed parts. You can pluck a wound off of a dead person, although this in itself will not bring him back to life.
