This is another common field, more commonly known as the Field of Blood. Those of this field, known as obair, plural obairai, are those able to mould the stuff of life itself. They can heal the sick, mend broken bones (their usual field of employment) and perform general chirurgeon work. However, blood is their field, not health, and they can destroy and harm life and health as simply as they can mend or heal. A powerful obairai can boil a roomful of people’s blood and kill them by merely standing at the doorway. As such, they are equally feared and respected. For this, many live on the fringes of society shunned by others who see them as witch-doctors and hedgerow shamen.
The obairai aren’t banned in Myre outright, but their abilities are frowned upon by the Hielachs. Nobody doubts their healing skills, but they are often associated with the related skill of necromancy and given a wide berth. Only two obairai are known to live in Myre and neither perform healing cheaply. They are employed as embalmers by those who treat their dead in such a manner.
Obairai will not eat meat or anything that has blood associated with it or once nourished its substance.
