    So while searching the obscure halls of general ignorance i found this
    So in fiction, whenever a healer cast its spell and light shine on target, healing wounds, they are basically just directing bacteria
    So i propose that from now all healer class be classified as bacteriummancer
    And you got a new sci-fi explanantion for heals besides nano-machines

    on the same note
    necromancer should be renamed fungimancer

    what other classes can you add to this lists

    You can't condense glowing antibiotics out of thin air, also it's not instaheal, but more like life sustain, cause body needs to heal by itself even if you use antibiotics.

    That said there is more potential for bacteria/fungi based offensice alchemist class.
    Make a super harmful sexually transmited fungal/bacterial disease and let the world burn

    No, healing would be teleporting matter in and directing it like a 3d printer.

    Thanks! It's good to know that your wounds can glow in the dark.
