The Life tradition stands in opposition to death.

Students of Life magic work to alleviate suffering, heal the injured, and fight disease, poison, and the other afflictions that trouble the living. As one might expect, the tradition is popular among the servants of the gods. Such magic allows the representatives of the divine to bring aid and comfort to those in need and to demonstrate the mercy of their patrons.

Although Life magic has a strong presence among the faithful, practitioners can be found the world over in the ranks of those who pledge their lives to protect the innocent and fighting back against the horrors that would snuff out life or make it not worth living. The most famous organization to advance the cause is, of course, the House of Healing. That institution has trained many a person, from devoted priests to secular agents, in the healing arts.
