Now, that's a great inspiration. I can just see humans snickering over the thought of trolls sticking teeth under their pillows... while the reality is that it's some huge horrible darkness demon. Or some daughter of Xiola Umbar, or something. No doubt the retribution spirit takes a hammer to your chompers if you fail to brush enough. Cool!

I'm not a biology whiz, but I vaguely recall something about the upper layer(s?) of skin, hair, fingernails and teeth being "dead" (but I may be wrong). Healing restores only the "living" skin/bits, I assume. So is it thus obvious when someone has had healing -- pinker skin, fingernails blackened or fallen off, hair fallen out, etc. where healing was applied?
