« on: July 01, 2020, 05:10:58 PM »Not to mention, WHY is it that magic is so bad a healing? Harry has bent gravity, manipulates elemental forces, breaks into minds and souls etc. He can even cross space-time and travel across the world like walking through a door (followed by some confusing and sometimes semi-dangerous terrain). But knitting skin and bone together is hard? Repairing ligaments is hard? I get that JB needs Murphy to be injured for the story. But the reasons stated for healing being tricky have NEVER been very convincing. I am not sure why either. It isn't hard to work into a relatively hard magic premise. The things modern science can do now is already incredible. I would expect wizards to at least be that good, if not better. But Harry won't look anyway.
The things modern science can do now are incredible - but the methods of getting there left a lot of dead patients along the way. And modern medicine still has a huge mortality rate despite all of our advances. In a system where the governing force of magic is famously unforgiving of things like mistakes and accidents, I can understand how medical magic would advance at a snail's pace. If you're using magic to heal a patient and mess up, you've just violated the First Law. Muggle medicine has thousands of doctors and researchers to advance their practices - wizards have a handful of people that all risk the death penalty if their experiment in cell regeneration goes wrong.
