Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Esoteric Medicine
In the Urban Arcana setting I plan on having, Physician takes care of "natural" wounds (even if the cause is supernatural. A fireball inflict regular burns, and so on), while Esoteric Medicine treats wounds inflicted to the mind (say, a Mindfray wound (see XCOM Psionics) would be treated by Esoteric Medicine). Some spells would inflict special damage to the soul, and natural healing would heal those, but Physician can do nothing against an attack that leaves no physical wound.
