The foundation is water. I can touch a person and feel where they're hurt and then fix it, so long as I have some water on me.

That's it? Are you attaching any cultural or religious significance to it to make the whole process more efficient?
No?
It's pretty efficient as is
I'll be honest, you are putting way more thought into this than I have ever done

Seriously? I've only known about magic for a few months but it can't be that weird to be questioning how a power like that works.
And don't give me any mysterious "it just works because it does" nonsense. That's bullshit.

I've had this power since I was a little girl, hundreds and hundreds of years ago. They were considered gifts and they weren't questioned back then and I haven't bothered to since
[ she really hasn't! she suffers from a deplorable lack of curiosity. willa doesn't even know if her power is actually some kind of hydrokinesis or some kind of healing or both! ]
Unrelated, have you met Riz Gukgak? I think you two would get along well

You've never questioned them even once?
[What the hell, Willa?????? This is going to drive him nuts. She is going to drive him nuts.]
What the fuck, that's an incredible way to limit yourself.
Yeah, I have. I met him in detention. He was part of this curfew break a bunch of kids organized in Moorcroft.

Sorry, buddy

Well, now that we're talking about it are you at all curious?

You could run some tests. It's not like there's much else to do in between missions.
You'd want to create some proper hypotheses first, that'll allow you to come up with the right variables that can be tested. Since we're talking about healing they'll be biological, like amount of blood or speed of cellular division. Then once you have the variables, you just need to come up with ways to change your independent variable, measure the impact of that change on your dependent variable, and make sure the experiment can be run consistently a few times.
After all of that it wouldn't be hard to analyze the resulting data, adjust your hypotheses, and re-run any experiments as necessary.
[Did he just describe the scientific method? Yes.]

Hm
I will be honest
That sounds so boring I could cry

[He's rolling his eyes so hard, because he's a big nerd who thinks it'd be interesting.]
Maybe you can ask around and see if someone knows a magical equivalent of the scientific method. Or some way that's less boring.

The hell are you talking about? Are you okay?

Probably not, no
Sorry
If someone else did all the work, I would volunteer but that doesn't seem likely, does it?

I'm still new to magic. This would be a good opportunity to learn.

Sure, whatever you want to do

Okay. I'll start thinking, and when I come up with some ideas for experimentation methods.
