[And there was the magic one could learn from the Factions as well. Byleth set the curiosity aside though, and focused on the task before him. He held his hand above John's arm - as promised, making no physical contact - and the glow brightened a little bit more, bathing John's radiation burns in a gentle light.
The first thing the magic seemingly did was numb the pain receptors - as if it found the exact point where the nerves registered damage and carelessly switched them off - swiftly followed by stimulating the body's natural healing response. Using John's own energy, the healing magic proceeded to enhance cellular regeneration and excite the fibroblasts into producing more collagen.
Were they in Byleth's world, free from the weakening effects of Kenos, he could've healed this injury in a blink of an eye, supplementing the energy required for such a rapid recovery with his own. But this place weakened him, he was already exhausted, and John didn't feel exactly spry either, so Byleth worked economically: a sliver of energy, emplacing a temporary numbing effect, and encouraging the body to focus regeneration in this area, and he was done.
The glow of healing magic faded, and Byleth lowered his hand.]
There. The pain, at least, should be dampened. Apologies, I can usually heal wounds like this with little effort, but I'm exhausted.
