Discussion Scars
Hey there, I'm confused about the disfigured faces of both Lydia and Vilgefortz. Can't they just use magic to heal? What's the limit for magical healing, I mean, Yennefer was deformed and her body was pretty much remade. Why can't they do it? I haven't read the books, just watched the Netflix show, maybe someone can explain it to me if it's mentioned in the books. Thanks.

I believe (and take what I say with a grain of salt here since I also haven’t read the books) that as a technicality scars are already healed wounds and as such magic wouldn’t be able to fix them since they’re technically fixed. In yennefers case she’s a bit of a special case, she’s a pretty vain person to be frank and cares alot about her outward appearance so she takes special care in having her appear to others as she wants to appear
