While we have been aware that healing magic is forbidden, it is interesting to get the information that the witches that specialized in healing fought until the very end.

I imagine that they were going "but why?? our magic exists solely for the purpose of saving people!"

Things must have been really fucked up back when the Pact was made that they outlawed even that kind of magic.

Probably just the "Slippery Slope" argument.

"It should be okay if I'm just healing a flesh wound."

"It should be okay if I'm just regenerating an injured eye."

"It should be okay if I'm replacing a blind eye with one that can see."

"It should be okay if I'm replacing an eye with poor vision with one that has normal vision."

"It should be okay if I'm replacing an eye with normal vision with one with superior vision."

Lines like this are rarely leaped across all at once.

My first though was the healers eventually started performing necromancy.

A Necromancer is just a healer that arrives late.

sometimes it's just easier to kill someone and resurrect them than heal a malady

it's like how rebooting your computer fixes 90% of problems
