As a child, I spent time volunteering at hospital. I was among the injured, the sick, the dying. I was immersed in the frailty of the human form. Life, however, is so much more than that. Yes, I saw the frailty, but I also saw the sheer determination of those to survive and recover from resounding odds. That determination was a kind of magic all on its own.
The Life Sphere is a lot like that. It is literally what we make if it. The Life Sphere can be used to heal or alter the body, promote growth in plants, and detect living beings nearby. It flows through all living things and is an ever dynamic sphere. Always changing.
With everything, there is a darker side. Life is not passive and should never be underestimated. With the intimate knowledge of the body comes the knowledge of how to do harm to it. It can cause death with a single bacteria or a wound to a vital area.
Life is a struggle; an ever changing, often dangerous struggle. Studying the Life Sphere can give one an understanding of how delicate that struggle really is and how easy it could be to find yourself slipping from it. Through our will and the innate magic that flows through every living creature, we can tip the balance of that struggle either way. I choose to heal with my gift.
