Staima

Spell Name: Blood Flow Charm

Incantation: Staima

Pronunciation: st-AI-ma

Spell Branch:

Magical Discipline(s): Healing

Appearance: A faint sparkling on the affected area

Description: Causes blood flow from an injury to stop. Does not actually repair the damage, so while the victim will not suffer from blood loss (and the blood will, somewhat disconcertingly, continue to flow along the path of veins that have been opened, even if exposed to open air), he may still be susceptible to gangrene or infection. Lasts a few minutes before it must be re-cast.

Regulations: Legal

Skill Level: Advanced

Etymology: From Greek stamato, “stop”, and aima, “blood”
