"The actual words don't matter," the witch said, "only the cadence, and the strength of feeling."

"That was a healing spell?"

"Keeps me focused."

"You swore, with the worst profanities I have ever heard, for two minutes."

"Your leg's not broken anymore, is it?"

@MicroSFF Very nice ☺

@MicroSFF It sounds like I could be a healing witch as well. I certainly know the spell. ~strokes her beard thoughtfully~

@MicroSFF also works on the self, at least for pain if not healing

🤣👍😉

@MicroSFF
"How could all that cursing be good?"
"It made ME feel good."

@MicroSFF This brought to mind the Terry Pratchett witches of Discworld . I love it 😂

@MicroSFF It’s true though, intent is everything.

@MicroSFF that's unironically every other mechanic fixing something
