* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: As the end result is entirely beneficial (and there's certainly no incompetence involved) it's a far cry from HarmfulHealing. However, the way to cure a self-inflicted curse seems to be treating it like a RealLife severe burn - making deep incisions into the afflicted area and scraping off the cursed/burnt part, then dipping it in a swimming pool.\\
Fortunately this doesn't apply to all curses, just self inflicted ones - restoring those cursed ''by others'' is far less of an ordeal in other books. Meaning: Eustace is the fantasy story counterpart to the kid who had a bad accident playing with the matches, resulting in severe injuries. You [[UnintentionallySympathetic can't really help but]] feel sorry for him. Fortunately for Eustace (as he's managed a ''transfiguration''), even ''with'' self inflicted curses the analogy to burns only goes so far: once he's been rid of the dragon skin representing the burnt bit, restoring him can ''then'' be helped along supernaturally. This also resolves an issue with Eustace becoming a dragon in the first place: if that were like an accident with fire (just with magic), then there needn't be more of a reason behind it than Eustace picking up the IdiotBall (even if it helps his CharacterDevelopment) - neatly avoiding any moral quagmires about whether or not Aslan turned him into a dragon in the first place, and not just turned him ''back'' from something he'd done to himself.
* HolyBurnsEvil: Related to the above, the waters of the [[HealingSpring well]] in the hidden orchard coud be deduced to do this. Luckily for someone being healed ''of'' something evil (like a curse), this incineration is instantaneous, though.

--> Then he caught hold of me — I didn’t like that much for I was very tender [...] and threw me into the water. It smarted like anything but only for a moment. After that it became perfectly delicious and as soon as I started swimming [...] I found that all the pain had gone from my arm.

Just before Reepicheep [[spoiler: sets sail over the waterfall to go to Aslan's country]], he hurls away his trusty sword, declaring "I shall need it no more." This is key in showing that the High Mouse realizes he's going to a place where he no longer needs to constantly guard against attacks and assaults upon his dignity. This great warrior knows he's going to a place where there will be no more war and strife, and he's supremely ''happy'' about that. For all his courage and apparent BloodKnight tendencies, deep down, all Reepicheep ever really wanted was ''peace''.
