Trivia
  • Heal was introduced in Amtgard V1 (1983).

  • Heal had a long reputation for being an essential beginner ability with a very long and complex incantation. The incantation for Heal from V1 to V7 was:
    “Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    Let the white light of healing descend on thee.
    Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    Let the white light of healing stop thy spilling blood.
    Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    Let the white light of healing mend thy bones.
    Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    Let the white light of healing close thy wounds.
    Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    Let the white light of healing restore thy vigor.
    Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    The white light of healing hath healed thee.”

    In Amtgard V8, it was shortened to:

    “Sword Cut, spear stab, mace smash, arrow jab,
    Let the white light of healing descend on thee.
    Let the white light of healing stop thy spilling blood.
    Let the white light of healing mend thy bones.
    Let the white light of healing close thy wounds.
    Let the white light of healing restore thy vigor.
    The white light of healing hath healed thee.”
    Before being shortened to its current form in Amtgard V9.
