I. Beginner-Level Spells & Techniques
At beginner level, Restoration Magic deals primarily with damage, deterioration and structural integrity.
1. Restoration Sense
Allows the caster to perceive damage and deviations from an object's or organism's previous state.
It can identify:
wounds
fractures
broken structures
missing components
magical damage
corrosion
deterioration
damaged magical circuits
It essentially lets the mage perceive:
"What is wrong with this?"
2. Minor Restoration
Restores minor physical damage.
Examples:
scratches
small cuts
cracks in pottery
torn cloth
chipped wood
damaged books
It is the most basic restoration spell.
3. Structural Restoration
Repairs damaged inorganic structures.
Useful for:
walls
furniture
tools
weapons
doors
buildings
The caster restores the object's structure to a previous intact configuration.
4. Mend
A fast combat-oriented restoration technique.
Primarily used for:
broken weapons
damaged equipment
torn clothing
cracked shields
It requires considerably less concentration than a full restoration spell.
5. Flesh Restoration
Restores minor biological damage.
Can heal:
shallow cuts
bruises
minor burns
superficial tissue damage
It isn't true regeneration yet.
6. Bone Mending
Restores minor fractures and cracks in bones.
The mage doesn't grow new bone.
They restore the bone to the condition it possessed before the injury.
7. Blood Restoration
Restores blood that has been lost from the body by returning the body's blood volume toward its previous state.
At beginner level, only relatively small losses can be handled safely.
8. Purification Restoration
Returns contaminated material toward a previously clean state.
Useful against:
spoiled water
contaminated objects
mild poisons
corrosion
environmental contamination
The spell works best when the original condition is still strongly preserved in the target's temporal imprint.
9. Object Recall
The caster mentally records an object's current condition.
The object can subsequently be restored to that recorded state.
For example:
Perfect sword → damaged sword → Object Recall → perfect sword.
This becomes an important precursor to advanced temporal restoration.
10. Preservation
Temporarily prevents deterioration.
It can preserve:
food
corpses
books
magical ingredients
potions
artifacts
biological samples
It essentially holds the target's current condition in place.
11. Repair Memory
The caster stores the previous configuration of an object within their magical memory.
If the object is subsequently damaged, the mage can use that information to reconstruct it.
12. Restoration Touch
A general-purpose technique that allows the caster to restore whatever they touch toward its previous condition.
It is simple but highly versatile.
II. Adept-Level Restoration Magic
At Adept level, Restoration begins moving beyond ordinary healing.
The mage starts understanding that everything possesses a temporal history.
The question changes from:
"How do I fix this?"
to:
"Which version of this should I restore?"
13. Complete Restoration
Restores an object or organism from substantial damage.
Examples:
shattered sword
collapsed furniture
severely damaged armour
large wounds
broken bones
damaged organs
The greater the damage, the more difficult the restoration.
14. Regeneration
Restores missing biological tissue by returning the body toward an earlier state.
Can regenerate:
fingers
ears
eyes
muscles
organs
sections of bone
The key difference from Metamorphosis:
Metamorphosis creates new biological structures.
Restoration retrieves a previous biological state.
15. Life Restoration
A powerful healing technique capable of restoring a severely damaged body.
It can repair:
organ failure
massive tissue damage
extensive burns
internal injuries
severe magical damage
However, the target must still possess a sufficiently intact life imprint.
16. Restorative Reversion
Returns a target to a previously recorded condition.
For example:
Elderly body → recorded youthful state.
The target isn't biologically transformed into a new form.
Their body is being restored to a previous temporal state.
17. Age Reversion
A specialized form of Restorative Reversion.
The caster can return a living organism to an earlier age.
For example:
40 years old → 25 years old.
The technique becomes progressively more dangerous the further backward the caster attempts to go.
18. Object Reversion
Returns an object to a previous condition.
Examples:
Broken sword → intact sword.
Burned document → unburned document.
Ruined building → previous intact condition.
The caster must either know or perceive the desired previous state.
19. Historical Restoration
One of the first genuinely temporal techniques.
The caster can examine the previous states through which an object has passed.
For example, touching an ancient sword could reveal:
who forged it
how it was used
when it was damaged
when it changed ownership
where it has been
This isn't ordinary divination.
The caster is reading the object's temporal history.
20. Temporal Echo
Creates a temporary manifestation of an object's previous state.
For example:
A ruined building can temporarily display itself as it looked 500 years earlier.
The echo isn't necessarily physically real.
It is a temporal reconstruction.
This makes it extremely useful for historical investigation.
21. Past Vision
Allows the caster to observe events that occurred at a specific location in the past.
The further back the caster looks, the greater the mana requirement.
Strong magical interference can obscure the vision.
22. Temporal Preservation
Places an object or organism into a localized temporal state where deterioration essentially stops.
Useful for:
long-distance transportation
preserving injured people
storing food
protecting artifacts
preserving magical ingredients
23. Temporal Lock
Locks the temporal state of a target.
The target continues to exist, but certain forms of change are prevented.
For example:
A burning object can be locked in its current state before it burns away.
Or:
A wounded person can be temporarily prevented from deteriorating.
24. Damage Reversal
Instead of repairing damage gradually, the caster reverses the target's temporal state until the damage disappears.
This is considerably faster than ordinary Restoration.
25. Area Restoration
Restores everything within a defined region to a previous state.
For example:
A destroyed room → restored room.
At higher levels:
Destroyed battlefield → restored battlefield.
The larger the area, the greater the mana cost.
26. Temporal Anchor
Creates a magical reference point corresponding to a specific temporal state.
The caster can later restore a target to that state.
For example:
Anchor established: Ben, 10:00 AM.
If Ben is injured at 2:00 PM:
Temporal Restoration → 10:00 AM state.
III. Master-Level Restoration Magic
At Master level, Restoration fully reveals its true nature.
The mage no longer merely repairs things.
They manipulate time as it relates to the state of an object, person or location.
27. Temporal Reversion
The caster directly reverses the temporal state of a target.
Unlike Object Reversion, this doesn't require a previously recorded state.
The caster can select a point within the target's accessible temporal history.
For example:
30-year-old person → 20-year-old state.
Or:
ruined castle → condition 500 years ago.
28. Temporal Acceleration
The opposite of Reversion.
The caster accelerates the temporal progression of a target.
Possible applications:
rapidly aging organic matter
accelerating corrosion
causing food to spoil
rapidly progressing natural processes
accelerating healing when combined with biological restoration
This technique must be used carefully because acceleration isn't inherently healing.
29. Temporal Stasis
Completely suspends the temporal progression of a target.
Within the affected region:
No meaningful change occurs.
The target doesn't age.
Wounds don't worsen.
Food doesn't decay.
Processes don't progress.
This can be extraordinarily powerful defensively.
30. Temporal Prison
The caster traps a target inside a controlled temporal state.
For example:
One second inside = one year outside.
Or:
One year inside = one second outside.
This doesn't necessarily require altering the entire world's time.
The caster manipulates the target's localized temporal progression.
31. Temporal Isolation
Separates a target from normal temporal progression.
The target continues to exist but becomes partially detached from the surrounding timeline.
This can protect someone from:
aging
temporal attacks
environmental change
certain forms of reality alteration
32. Past Restoration
Restores an entire location to a specific historical state.
For example:
A ruined Hogwarts corridor → exactly as it existed 300 years earlier.
Everything within the affected area can potentially be restored:
walls
furniture
objects
vegetation
structural features
However, restoring living beings raises enormous ethical and magical complications.
33. Temporal Reconstruction
The caster reconstructs something that has been completely destroyed by tracing its temporal history.
For example:
Destroyed artifact → reconstruct artifact from its previous states.
This is one of the techniques that begins approaching Creation Magic.
The difference is:
Restoration retrieves what existed.
Creation produces what did not previously exist.
34. Causal Restoration
A terrifyingly advanced technique.
Rather than repairing the result of an event, the caster restores the target to the state before the causal event occurred.
Example:
A building is destroyed by an explosion.
Normal Restoration:
Restore the building.
Causal Restoration:
Restore the building's state to immediately before the explosion.
The difference becomes increasingly important when dealing with complex magical phenomena.
35. Temporal Sight
Allows the caster to view the past with extraordinary clarity.
At its highest levels, the caster can inspect:
distant historical events
hidden events
forgotten civilizations
the history of artifacts
the origin of magical phenomena
The caster essentially becomes a living temporal historian.
36. Probability Sight
This is the future counterpart.
The caster doesn't literally see a predetermined future.
Instead, Restoration Magic calculates possible future states from current conditions.
For example:
Decision A → Future A
Decision B → Future B
Decision C → Future C
The more variables involved, the more difficult the calculation becomes.
This makes it particularly useful when combined with Evolution Magic's ability to read information.
37. Branch Observation
Allows the caster to observe multiple potential future branches simultaneously.
The spell does not necessarily create those futures.
It observes possible outcomes generated by different decision variables.
This could give Ben an extraordinary strategic advantage.
38. Temporal Anchor: Grand
The caster establishes a powerful temporal reference point.
A person, object or location can later be restored to that precise temporal state.
For Ben, this could function almost like a magical:
Save Point.
But there are limits.
The more complex the target, the harder the restoration.
39. Localized Time Reversal
The caster reverses time within a defined region.
For example:
A battlefield is rewound by 30 seconds.
Arrows return to bows.
Destroyed walls reassemble.
Spells return toward their casters.
People return to their previous positions.
This is an extremely advanced Master technique.
40. Temporal Restoration
A supreme Master technique.
The caster restores everything within a designated domain to a chosen temporal state.
For example:
A city destroyed yesterday → restored to its condition before the destruction.
The spell doesn't merely repair buildings.
It restores the entire temporal configuration of the region.
41. Chronological Severance
The caster separates a target from a specific temporal event.
This can prevent certain temporal interactions from affecting them.
For example:
A temporal curse attempts to alter someone's past → the connection is severed.
This is an extremely rare anti-temporal technique.
42. Eternal Restoration
The ultimate theoretical Restoration technique.
The caster establishes a target's ideal temporal state as an absolute restoration point.
As long as the anchor exists, the target can theoretically be returned to that state.
This could provide a form of practical immortality.
If the temporal anchor itself is destroyed, however, the protection disappears.
43. Akashic Restoration
The legendary pinnacle.
The caster accesses the complete temporal history of a target and can select any valid state that genuinely existed.
A destroyed artifact.
A dead organism.
A ruined civilization.
A lost structure.
If its state existed somewhere within its accessible temporal history, the caster can potentially restore it.
This is the ultimate expression of:
"Nothing that has truly existed is ever completely lost."
