So I've got a magical order in my gameworld that (among other things) does flesh shaping. PC got hit with a spell that made the bones in his hands go *poof*, but the flesh, tendons and viscera are otherwise intact. Medical technology is borderline TL 4-5.

Now: the party has a crack healer. Effectively, she's got just about every healing spell in the book short of Resurrection, and the worst skill level she has is 15. But I'm curious about what people think: does fixing the poor bastard's hand require Regeneration? (And if so, can the bones be grown back with it in situ, or does the hand need to be hacked off and start from scratch?) Restoration?

Obviously, I'll make a judgment call (and am leaning towards the healer's belief that this is an amputation/Regeneration situation), but how would you deal with it?
