"We're a little more mortal than that. We can heal faster from injuries and have healing magic, but can still die from a bad wound." Like he just experienced going back home. Heart failure is still heart failure, for example, or the many people who burned to death or got shot through the heart. Mages can't do everything. "That's impressive of Force users."

The healing magic here is very powerful, he doubts that it is easy to die as long as you have a mage here. It's stronger than anything he's seen, probably more of them from the Pit should have died. He was one of them, bleeding out before they got out. "I think it probably comes from a similar place though. A power that shows itself similar across universes." Not exactly the same, but almost.

He offers Finn the book. "I did, I've always had a gift for memorization, but I think the Singularity might have given me a little boost. I remember word for word these days, and copy it over here." Istredd isn't entirely certain but his skill did go up a few levels, it seemed only reasonable. "Anyone can add books in here. It'll only fill up as much as you remember, but a lot of people's unconscious psyches do remember more than they think."
