In his healing hands skill, I added "Cole, though he’d rather leave it to professionals, can perform medical practices, from illnesses and injuries of minor levels, to devising a medicine and giving treatment to a severe wound, to providing quick emergency care that gives someone just a little more time, provided he has the right supplies."

[@13900IpForThis] Unfortunately, I've never read Prince of Thorns. I've picked it up in bookstores, but I tend to favour books that are part of a series I already own. Also, my mother keeps a careful eye on how many books I buy ever since I spent over £80 on books in one day... I bought 12. It broke my backpack.
As for the journal picture, that was the ONLY picture that worked in the original posting of my character's backstory. I've removed it - I only added it for posterity anyway, and it'd be easy to find a substitute.
