[She wanted to see if it was any different here, that's all. The knowledge she could do both is still pulling at the back of her mind, but another part of Irhya says she's done too much already to go back to that. Too many dead bodies on her back...
But then, isn't the philosophy "for those we can yet save"? Perhaps she's just a stubborn fool, she thinks as she looks down at the sluggish bleeding. Or perhaps she's just better at cleaving things in two than mending them back up again, in the end.]
Back in Eorzea, the conjurers of Gridania are tied inextricably to the will of the Elementals that govern the forest -- and indeed, they also rule over their capacity to heal anyone. And while I grant that it's important to pay attention to their counsel lest they sic the whole bloody forest upon droves of people for their ignorance... it soon became an excuse that was frequently toted out to excuse laziness, inaction, and even discrimination. For an innocent person to hear that it is the "will of the Elementals" that they just suffer and die in their illness simply because a Hearer didn't see fit to heal them...
