The Cure spells we use speed up the body's own healing process. A powerful spell combined with a powerful gift can heal in minutes - but you have to be skilled to keep the new bone from growing in weaker, when you go that fast. In all likelihood, that's why it broke - Elena and I were captured and tortured about four months ago, and we didn't have time to find someone trained as a healer, or to let the damage heal slower. I have it splinted right now.

And believe me, I plan on it.
