Concept: an upper limit to how much magic you can use to heal someone

Like how desperately chugging gallons of water in a span of minutes will kill you, how eating far too much food than you're used to can make you sick- in similarly extreme cases, casting too much magic to heal someone from serious injury can cause more problems than you're trying to fix.

Sudden onset of fever and chills, burns, after a certain point the body may just outright reject the magic being applied so that it has no affect.

#ramblings #something something 'poison isnt about the substance it's in the size of the dose'#on a. less mystical and more blunt level the human body does not like sudden spikes of energy being put into it #that's usually called things like 'sunburns' or 'radiation poisoning'#even if in this case that energy is being used to try and get the body to mend itself #even if someone is stabilized you cant just stand there and constantly hum a spell to make the healing go by quicker unless you want consies #this is mostly just me thinking aloud for a very specific scene i have in mind for Skysail #in which Mr. Sid Sibyl has a Very Bad Time but that's ok cuz he ends up alright (barely) :)
