While often times, useful medicines aren't much different from narcotics or other drugs, some of them actually have helpful healing properties for the treatment of disease, discomfort, illness, and injury. Nomadic wicks are said to be the most advanced in terms of herbal medicinal knowledge, taking a much less academic and much more wholesome look at the body when treating and preventing illnesses and injuries of all kinds.

While the use of magic has somewhat overshadowed the advancement of medicine in galdori culture, it has only served to enhance the process in other areas. Please note that magical potions do not exist in the world of Vita due to the nature of monite and how the mona chooses to operate in the known universe. Using magic to enhance the process of creating tinctures and medicines and salves, however, is a perfectly valid use of magic, but just keep in mind that magic cannot be used to make an ordinary mixture have extraordinary effects on the imbiber.
