Too smart to be true?

"Ah yes, I can set the bone"

Setting the bone was a delicate operation, but at least [member="Taygeta Lightkeeper"] understood that no, Force-healing does not excuse the need for conventional precautions, such as setting bones when treating broken bones. That's part of a list of things several healers she knew would not do: performing orthopedic procedures of that nature without properly setting stuff could result in bent bones and other ailments that would not be what the patient would be looking for. Here she watched her student attempt to employ the same logic as one would use while welding. She knew broken bones, cuts were commonly-encountered injuries out on the field for Jedi, so better train new practitioners of Force-healing on that sort of things. Perhaps Jessica would have come to realize that chemistry-intensive Force-powers came very easily to her student, so much so that Taygeta may as well be learning Art of the Small through the backdoor, which is another Force-power usually considered to be intellect-intensive.

"You're much like an Art of the Small practitioner. Many Art of the Small practitioners tend to have a pretty good grasp of chemistry or of condensed-matter/molecular physics"

Taygeta let the inquiry of what Art of the Small was linger in the back of her mind while focusing primarily on the task at hand in the moment. She would learn what this new term meant soon enough. She would feel the bone as it was put back into place carefully by her mentor. She waited patiently while the fractured bone was moved to where it needed to be before.... wait... attempting the reestablishment of molecular bonds was not quite the answer in its entirety.

The young Jedi, slowly shifted from her kneeling position into a more comfortable sitting position, letting her sandals slip loose on their own from the motion, not caring at the moment that they weren't snugly in place where they belonged; so entranced was she to brush off the smallest curiosities or annoyances as inconsequential. The living cells of the bone and marrow themselves seemed to want to reconnect to their separated sisters and the Force emanating from each one bonded with her own influence and intent.

Taygeta would gently will the bone and marrow cells to reach out toward each other and grow back into each other's substrates organically, slowly, but steadily closing the fracture. This was taxing on her concentration, to be sure, but this would be a better solution to the problem than tediously attempting to reestablish simple molecular bonds mechanically. Life, of course, was the origin of the Force and in a way, vise versa. Yes, this was the solution. This was how it was done. Patience, Taygeta... Patience... You've got this by the neck...

"By now you have realized that there are several ways to go around using a particular Force-power. My own master once likened me to a Force-using computer, but there are others who would rather not care about what the power actually does while in effect. I'll apply a cast around the broken limb, sounds good?"

Then again I'm not sure whether Werah compared me to a Force-using computer or droid because of how my intellect operates or for another reason. He seemed familiar with my own thought processes, although sometimes I will the Force to act upon an object while I run the calculations in my head for exactly what it is expected to achieve, she thought, while precise applications of the Force allows her to use just enough Force-energy since she realized that her computational power cycles faster than her Force-batteries can be charged. And [member="Taygeta Lightkeeper"] reminded Jessica of her own padawan days, probably for good reason. Perhaps because Taygeta was so focused on the broken bone while it was mending, she may not have realized that the Trianni was intoxicated. And once that was done, Jessica applied a cast around the broken bone so that the patient's broken limb will remain set until it is safely considered that the broken limb has healed.

"The patient is intoxicated. As with Force-healing, Detoxify Poison is also a partially function of the patient's biochemistry: you know by now that one species' poison is another's nutrient. Here if you can identify the poison, you may attempt shattering the molecules of that poison using the Force"
