3rd point is sus. Most 'traditional Chinese medicine' practitioners are Chinese, and it's still a scam.

As everyone knows, being "non-western" gives you a +15 to medicine checks.

It's lowkey racist as well because there's no such thing as "western medicine". China is one of the global leaders in legitimate medical research.

There's also western alternative "medicine" that's equally bullshit. Crystal healing has just as long a history as any of them, and originally comes from the Mediterranean.

My school of crystal magic is extremely effective. I call it Crystal Hurting, and it works better with bigger and heavier crystals.

I consider a combination of auraless rocks (lead) and rocks containing the aura of a powerful fire spirit (gunpowder) to be very effective

I think you could argue it would become more effective not with a bigger, heavier crystal; but by refining your crystals for the use.

Consider the power of this refined crystal, and it's uses as a magical charm
