Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dear Omearah;

It has come to my attention that you have started looking beyond the existence of normal pards, and into what could be. To that end, I have prepared a set of lessons for you- spend some time contemplating them, and send me your answers and thoughts. I am certain they will assist you in your search for a wider world.

((Britnote: Answer the following questions or exercises, in no particular order, with at least one page in Word (three-five good, solid paragraphs) each. For activities, write out your pard's actions, and write a journal entry about them. There is no length requirement on the journal entries. All responses should be posted in the pard's journal.

If you have more than one shifter pard, indicate in some way which pard is answering- remember, each pard has individual questions! Once you have completed this list, send a PM with an updated profile of your pard and notice of completion to Britain.))

1. What is your worst trait? What is your best? Why?

2. What is the first responsibility of a Healer? Why?

3. What is the second responsibility of a Healer? Why?

4. In your travels and studies, you have come across a Healer who did something so horrible, it nearly made you ill. What would this be? Why does it affect you in this manner?

5. Did you ever loose someone (or some creature, of any form) when trying to heal them? What was your reaction, how did this affect you?

6. Name five types of medicinal herbs and their most common uses- as well of some of their more uncommon uses and any warnings- and examples of when they would be used.

7. You have two children to save, one human, one pard, and you CANNOT save them both. Which will you choose? What factors would influence your decision?

8. When is it ethical to use healing magic? When is it not?

9. Have you ever experienced any difficulties drawing on your magic, or has it come naturally? If you have had trouble with it, how can you make it easier?

10. Go to a local hospital or place where many people are injured. Heal yourself into exhaustion, then document how the experience affected you and how long it took you to recover. Learn your limits.
