I hope that I wasn't implying that the HHD ritual replaced PC. Which would you prefer, to have your arm healed back on immediatly or to wander around with an agonising stump till HHD to get regrow limb. I see PC as spiritual healing of the man imposed rift between the spirit and the body.
I think I have wandered far enough from the origonal questions.
