#do you think shed know certain pressure points like in atla where she can stop you from using magic

[musubiki]

recently thinking about the concept of a new npc/semi-cryptid healer character: a little (REALLY little) old lady who rides around on a giant animal (boar or something) whose....family(??) has a long history of healing talents through accupuncture, herbal remedies, pressure points, chiropractic things, etc.

the family line/line of practice has a history of very long life BECAUSE of the healing practices, so this little old lady is maybe...150? 170? years old??? shed be the healer the guild goes to, since her remedies are BETTER than mochis magic AND limes tech junk, she can help any one of them without problem

but the odd thing about her is that shes NOT a witch, weirdly. her healing is 100% natural, which means it works on those with high magic res, since it has nothing to do with magic.

i also think the family history would have this weird relationship with witches, where theyre willing to heal them (for a price of course), but they absolutely REFUSE to give their secrets to any witch. "You'll just make it better and put us out of a job." they always say, so even mochi doesnt know what the hell is in that soup shes eating, all she knows is that its capable of instantly restoring 90% of her magic (5 day cooldown before she can drink it again though, lest she die)

#she either has a shop set up in a place easily teleported to OR she travels around like the merchant #though i think the teleport point makes more sense if you need to easily access her #becuase shes technically a human she doesnt pop up everywhere and anywhere like the merchant #(the secret is in the knowledge and ingredients) she says while cracking limes neck and somehow it fixes his sore foot #the insane old lady character #also the small(tm) character like robbie from totk or the grandma from ranma #her name is madam springs #(like hot springs!) she says (cuz i can heal you with a touch!) and then paralyzes you #do you think shed know certain pressure points like in atla where she can stop you from using magic #another reason to do magic commissions so you can buy these insane healing products #mochi: (looking at thing in bottle) its a potion? #madam springs: what?? no!! none of that magic junk. its called the hibbie-jibbie-remover. my own personal invention. #madam springs: takes away all stress in 2 minutes guarenteed!! #lime slowly takes the bottle away from mochi (i dont like that name.) he says #one thing about all the cryptids is that they all have a no-fighting policy within their vicinities #since multiple witches and magic creatures go to them. if you see another witch you have a beef with while youre there you gotta fight late #they dont let that shit slide
