Selecting [Increase Health Recovery] from the [Market] deposited a protective box made out of some mystical plastic material on the bed next to me. Opening this box, I expected some kind of gemstone or mineral. But no, the box contained a tiny ball made out of bougie glass with a deep blue internal glow, wrapped in mystical post apocalyptic bubble wrap.
I had read a lot about these crystals. You had to break them to use them. Not just break them. You had to crush them; cause the crystal sphere break your skin, and draw blood. Shattering the crystal on the floor was just a waste of the experience you spent to get one. Someone on Reddit had swallowed one, and all it did was come out whole in his shit a few days later. There had been a lively debate about punching, clubbing, and stabbing the guy in the gut to see what would happen.
But there were posers, trolls, scammers, and losers on the internet, who were willing to say and believe anything. The internet was filled with liars and conspiracies. And poor wayward me had no clue who to trust or who I could believe. Luckily I had access to a better option. DominoRay had thoughtfully included a wiki and a forum in the [Status] that only delvers had access to.
Opening the [Forum] tab on my [Status], the following message appeared in my HUD
- Keep it civil. Avoid conversations about religion or politics. Discussions that are favorable or derogatory of certain races, genders, sexual orientations, or disabilities are prohibited except in designated Sub Forums.
- The first infraction is a warning.
- The second warning is a hex of flatulence.

Keep it to the internet, folks. This space is for professional adventurers, not trolls or activists.
- Do not post porn except in the designated porn forum.
- Kiddy porn will lead to an automatic permanent ban on DominoRay [Status], and a Cho-Mo flag will be added to your system-generated [Status]
- Beastiality will also result in automatic bans. The sole exception to this is sex with humanoid dungeon creatures. This will be evaluated on a case by case basis. More than likely this will also result in a permanent ban. NOTE: Please don't fuck a goblin and post it to the Porn Section. It is not funny and will result in a ban. - DominoRay

[System] Programming and MODs
I selected [Skills - Discussion and Known Cheats] and then scrolled down to [Skill and Spell Crystals]. Inside was a list of various purchasable skills, how to use them, their limitations, and ideas about how to use them in ways they weren't meant to be used.
Entering [Increase Health Recovery] into the search function, I found the following discussion.
Been experimenting with IHR. You can use it on yourself, party members, monsters, and pets. Similar requirements, though. Need for physical contact, spend a lot of mana, and deathly slow. Has anyone tried the spell out on a Demon or Undead? Curious to see what happens.

Sorry @Dimitri, no, devil spawn in my dungeon. But tried IHR on a slime. After about 5 minutes, the slime exploded. Took mucho damage because I had to keep touching the slime. Totally not worth it. Does anybody else have any experience with overhealing?
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Why would I want to heal an undead?

To see if healing causes them damage.

Spent three days "Healing" my boyfriend, who was already in full health. Didn't do anything except get rid of a scar he had as a kid. Does overhealing only works on slimes? Or is it on all monsters?
🌟Cupcake - 14 upvotes, 0 downvotes, Report
There is a rumor that you need IHR and BCW to get a healer class. Anyone know?

Guys, I need Incase Healer Crystal really bad. I can pay 10xp

@Meeper, there is enough data yet. Getting the spell couldn't hurt, though.

This content went on and on for a few pages. It was facinating but currently useless to me. Next, I went to the wiki.
[Increase Healing Rate] - often abbreviated to IHR
Description
Identify Description
An introductory spell that speeds up the [System Natural Healing] speed. Requires touching the wound for optimal healing rate. Indirect contact decreases the healing rate depending on how distant the healer is from the injury.
User Added
[Increase Healing Rate] is thought to be the introductory spell for more advanced [Heal over Time] spells.
While this spell is mainly used outside of combat, many users assign it the thought command Hot Heal in preparation for later more powerful [Heal Over Time] spells.
Current cost in Marketplace: 49 xp
Mana Per Second: 0.5 mp
Health Per Second: 0.1 hp + [System Natural Healing]*
* [System Natural Healing] = ((Strength + Endurance) / 200) + (Level / 100) hp/second
[System Natural Healing] is an estimate based on a study of 76 people with the [System] who volunteered to take a 50-hitpoint wound while monitoring their statistics. It cannot be considered reliable until a more extensive sampling has been studied under more varied conditions.

[Monsters] Known to be Using this Spell
- [Kobol Shaman]
- [Pluto] in [Disneyland Dungeon]
Following the link [Spell Crystal] I found the wiki entry:
[Spell Crystal] - Often abbreviated to Crystal
Description
Crystals hold spells or skills. Using a crystal to acquire an ability seems to occur outside the class system allowing non-standard advancement. It has been hypothesized that some [Classes] require spells or skills that must be bought or found. This has not been conclusively proven.
Every functioning Spell Crystal has an internal glow. All similar crystals have a matching colored light. So far, Crystals have been found in the following colors, [Yellow], [Blue], [Green], [Orange]. It has not yet been discovered what these colors correspond to. Suggestions such as power, rarity, affinity, and class have all been advanced but not proven.
Usage
Break the crystal against your flesh or to a wound. As long as the injury has uncoagulated blood, the power of the crystal can enter the bloodstream. The longest recorded waiting time before a power has been added to a [Status] is one hour. Longer times have been postulated but not recorded yet.
Giving a [Plebe] a crystal will induct that person into the [System] precisely as if they had entered a dungeon and killed a [Monster].
Crystal Decay
Outside of a [Dungeon] or [Inventory], crystals lose power beginning after three days. The skill or spell will be completely exhausted an additional seven days after it begins losing potency. Storing the [Crystal] in an [Inventory] will stop the decay process, but will not refresh it. The weaker the crystal, the longer it will take to be absorbed into your bloodstream and onto the [Status]. A powerless crystal is not internally lit. See [Crystal Replenishment] for information about adding power to a powerless crystal.
That was more than enough information for me. I crushed the crystal in my acid-damaged hand, letting the shards cut open my slowly healing skin and the light from inside the sphere flowed into my body. My body tingled nicely for about ten minutes, and then I heard a [ping] in my brain.

Still lying on the bed, I activated IHR and let the healing energies flow through me. A couple minutes later, I was in full health. I didn't even care about replenishing my mana since IHR was the only spell.
It was time to kill a slime.
