Also since you were saying about magic being the manipulation of something you understand, could my character develop magical manipulation of bodies? First she would use it for healing purposes but then realise she could easily turn it towards combat?

That's a tricky question. I'll have to think about that.

On one hand, that could be considered very dark magick. To manipulate the very body of your enemy.

On the other hand, i can see what you mean with the healing and such, understanding the body. And it would make sense. 

But I Donno, that's tricky. Lol, I'll think about it. But I don't know if that would be something that would be wise to get into as it would be an entire new level of magic. The regeneration dragon's scale rapidly regenerate and when ground up and are consumed by humans, assists and speeds the healing process, so even their magic isn't so much manipulating flesh. 

Geez, now I have to do some brainstorming XD
