History Main / HealingHands

* The Blessed in ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'' can perform the miracle "Lay On Hands", which requires touching.
* In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':

* The "Medicine" skill in the third edition of ''TabletopGame/InNomineSatanisMagnaVeritas'' behaves like normal medicine/surgery for the first three levels (level 3 heals 3 HP in four hours), then switches to magical healing that works in one minute or even one second.
* Any mage with enough knowledge of Life magic in either ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' or ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'' can do this. Shapeshifters in ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' can learn Gifts for this.
* Mostly the domain of White in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', though Green also gets some.
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', Paladins gain the ability to heal specific status problems (like poison, fatigue, disease, and even curses) with Lay On Hands with 'Mercies', and they gain access to more mercies as they level up. Some require having certain others to access.
* In ''TabletopGame/PsionicsTheNextStageInHumanEvolution'' espers with biofeedback may be able to do this, depending on their talent build.
** The Painkiller archetype is depicted doing this.
* The Heal spell from ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' requires hands to be placed on the affected area.
* In the ''TabletopGame/TrinityUniverse'':

* Clan Salubri in ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' has the Discipline of Obeah, which allows them to heal both mental and physical damage.
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' the champion of Tzeentch Aekold Helbrass does this uncontrollably, causing anyone close to him to regenerate. This can include the enemy he just stabbed. The ability also causes [[FertileFeet plants to flourish]] wherever he walks.
* In ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'', the HealerGod Shallya [[ReligionIsMagic grants her priests spells]] to cure [[HitPoints wounds]], poison, disease, and even insanity. Other spellcasters' healing options depend on the edition: 1[[superscript:st]] Edition makes "Cure Injury" options available to Wizards and several priesthoods; some magical [[TheBeastmaster Beastmaster]]s gain animal-exclusive versions; 2[[superscript:nd]] Edition {{Light|EmUp}} Wizards have a unique but modest healing spell; 2[[superscript:nd]] and 4[[superscript:th]] Edition Priests share a petty spell that heals a single Wound; and 4[[superscript:th]] Edition [[PlayingWithFire Pyromancers]] can literally HealItWithFire.
* In ''TabletopGame/WraithTheOblivion'', wraiths who know Usury can heal via equivalent exchange, sacrificing part of their being to heal both wraiths and living humans, or taking others' life force to heal themselves (''Stealing'' life force, however, strengthens the [[EnemyWithin Shadow]]). Wraith 20th enables them to let other people make the equivalent exchange as well.

* ''Film/TheEternals'': The first team leader, Ajak, has the ability to regenerate damaged tissue and cells with ease.

** ''VideoGame/EarthBound'': Ness is a rare Hero example, although it is just one of many.

* Raven in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' animated series has healing powers, but her allies tend to not receive notable injuries to use them on. Most notably, she heals Beast Boy's broken leg in "Final Exam".

* ''VideoGame/TitanQuest'': Nature Mastery's Regrowth is one of two first-available skills, which can heal either the user himself/herself or any allies/NPCs.

* Hotaru Tomoe/Sailor Saturn from ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' has this ability, despite being quite sickly herself. She's not a WhiteMagicianGirl, though.

* Creator/MercedesLackey has magical Healers in both her urban fantasies and her ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' series.

* In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', the [[RoyalBlood real king]] has healing powers. This is based on the old European folk belief that kings could indeed heal scrofulosis and other diseases. The same idea is referenced and parodied in various ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' books. It is left somewhat ambiguous within the narrative whether Aragorn actually possesses special powers due to his distant elven ancestry or whether he's simply making use of herbal techniques the Gondorians have forgotten over the centuries.

** One of the many default spells in ''Literature/CitadelOfChaos'' is the Stamina Spell, which automatically restores 50% of your health. You can use it on a badly-injured NPC one early instance to enquire the man for clues.

** Nero has [[SemanticSuperpower Sealing Recovery Magic]], using it to seal wounds, even reattaching an arm, as well as body damage.

* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime'': Channelers can use the One Power for healing, which is mentioned when Moiraine has been wounded. They can't heal themselves though, only others, so she needs help from someone else. Later another Aes Sedai heals her. Logain heals the wounds the King of Ghealdan suffered in a flashback as well.

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' has Asia Argento. She can heal allies at a long distance. If she's near an enemy, the healing aura will just dissolve. She doesn't utilize the Reverse method because it would be risky for the Twilight Healing user (that and she's surrounded by one hell of a BadassCrew anyway).

* This is how healing is depicted in ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''. While some of the cast have some level of healing magic, Sylphiel, being a cleric/priestess, is the master of it.

* Iks's abilities help people heal from wounds quickly (sans glowing hands). From ''LightNovel/TheThirdTheGirlWithTheBlueEye''.
