Gus nodded as both girls asked him about the blood aspect. A rare, and often uncomfortable, element of control, blood based effects were almost exclusive to healing similar to what a more foreign version of the earthen aspect could do. Though if the stories were correct, someone capable of what he had heard in stories as 'druidic' for lack of a better name, focused on the spirits themselves to usher in life force to the injured to soothe wounds and even return people to life. Though there had been no record of it since the time of the Kasai families first generation. Again, if the stories he'd been told by his elders were true.

[color=ed1c24]"You would need to ask my father about that. The human body is capable of amazing feats with the right influence. My fathers skills can progress a persons natural healing to incredible proportions. I watched him mend a man who had his stomach torn open, all in the matter of a few minutes. Though It took a great toll on both the injured and the healer, as new flesh needs energy to create. My father said that a doctors duty is to put his life into the healing of anothers when the time comes..." [/color]

The realization of what transpired hit Gus silently but exquisitely. His father had given up his own spiritual essence to mend the damage. But would his own lost spirit mend itself with time? Such questions were beyond him but Gus promised to ask when he next met up with his parents. There was a lot the school might not be able, or willing, to teach him.

[color=ed1c24]"I do think that natural remedies are used if the injuries would best heal, or subside in the case of a flu, with the rare fauna of this place. Below the mountains, and in the groves dotting the town, are plants never cataloged in the wider world. Unique to the academy grounds." [/color]

Gus smiled as he stood up, pushing his chair out. The table was roughly 50 to 80 pounds and could seat 6 comfortably. The frame was made of polished steel and the top a solid slab of oak. Both of his arms flexed as the familiar feeling of power flooded his upper body to make his skin turn a dark red. Those attuned to aura could see the essence of his element glowing about his upper body. 

[color=ed1c24]"Another, lesser used blood ability, is to enhance ones own physical traits."[/color]

Both hands grasped his side of the table as he exhaled, lifting the table gently up into the air, right up to shoulder level, before he very cautiously put it back down. Thankfully he had not spilled anything. The table landed with a soft clatter as it was returned to the same spot he had lifted it. The big mans arms returned to a more normal complexion as he sat back down in his seat. 

[color=ed1c24]"Thanks to a healthy work out routine and my element, even despite my uh.. Physique,"[/color] Gus coughed awkwardly and continued, [color=ed1c24]"I'm physically healthy. The same techniques are used to help soothe muscles in patients or even help mend a broken or malformed bone. Though in those cases you need to re-break it.."[/color]
