Healing is the supernatural ability to consciously heal others of severe and even permanent wounds and illnesses. This is in contrast to Accelerated Healing, in which only the user is healed, and typically without any conscious thought on the user's part.
Druids, specifically Darachs who have sacrificed a trio of "Healers" such as doctors, will gain the ability to heal others of wounds so severe that even those who possess accelerated healing powers will be able to overcome.
Activation[]
Darachs and Alpha Werewolves are able to use the power of healing. Darachs can heal by putting their hands over the wound and focus, but the person getting healed will sometimes through a lot of pain if the wound is severe. After the Darach heals a person, they themselves will be weakened temporarily and will thus be unable to use most of their powers for several minutes.
Alpha Werewolves can heal, but it requires a ritual of sorts and comes at the price of losing their Alpha status. Healing for an Alpha is a more advanced version of Pain Absorption; however, instead of simply taking away pain, they also take away the wound and injury.
Uses of Healing[]
- Jennifer Blake used the healing power she gained from a sacrifice of three healers to heal the wounds her love interest Derek Hale sustained in the battle between the Hale Pack and the Alpha Pack. ("Motel California")
- Derek healed his sister, Cora Hale, of the mistletoe poisoning she sustained due to Jennifer's manipulations, though he did so at the expense of his Alpha spark, causing him to revert to Beta status. ("Alpha Pact")
- Jennifer was goaded into using her healing power on Deucalion by Derek, who claimed that Deucalion needed to see the physical price she paid as a result of his requirement to join the Alpha Pack (i.e. forcing Kali to maim and kill her Betas and Emissary as her initiation into the pack). As a result, Deucalion's vision was restored, allowing him to see the damage done to her face, which he was previously unable to witness due to his blindness. This use of her power weakened her for several minutes and prevented her from being able to kill Deucalion during the lunar ellipse. ("Lunar Ellipse")
Trivia[]
- This power has not been seen outside of the first half of Season 3.
