Physiker's Instinct

With this working, a mage of water may draw on the instincts and guiding power of the legendary archmage Salyra, lending him a unique focus on the healing art. While so focused, the mage will find his healing spells to be more effective, and his purifying, dousing, and mending spells will succeed more often, even against very virulent maledictions. This magically-induced concentration leaves little time for much else, however, and thus the mage will be incapable of striking often in combat or casting any but a handful of healing and warding spells.
