Limits of Corp Healing?

[naraht]

I was looking at some of the comments on the Cherub/Wind/etc thread I started and was pretty surprised at the fact that the scenario had holes based on the abilities of Corp Healing.

My question is, you have a Heavenly Soldier in the ICU after a battle who is stable. No Brain Damage, (can answer questions yes or no with one or two blinks), but missing limbs and massive third degree burns.

With access to Corp Healing/1 and enough time and essence, what is the maximum amount that the Soldier can improve?

With access to Corp Healing/6 and enough time and essence, what is the maximum amount that the Soldier can improve?

(Assume no interventions either way and no need to worry about disturbance)

With Corporeal Healing, at any level, you can fix everything eventually, provided you start work before the subject has recovered his hit points through natural healing (which could be interpreted as something like "before his relationship with the symphony has stabilised for his new form"). The advantage of having the song at a high level is that the work goes faster (and knowing all three variants for the CD bonus is very worthwhile).

Songs aren't just another magic system. They're more like cheat codes for reality. The difficult bit is not giving yourself away, either through disturbance or unexplainable miracles.

OK, so since the 50 year old Soldier has long since healed from his circumcision (or conversely, her hymen tearing) and getting his/her ears pierced, Corp Healing won't "fix" those even on continued high level great CD success.

Hmm. Vapula has already tried experimented with cutting someone in half at the same time hitting them with a corp healing/6. Which ever 'half' the symphony will heal must the the half with the soul in it. Change the dividing line and try again... (or both halves work and he's found an easy way to do cloning)
