Such a visible healing speed, even for a physically robust pure-blood werewolf, was barely achievable only during a full moon. As for blood-kin, it was only possible after ingesting a sufficient amount of human blood.<!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----></ms-cmark-node>

This couldn't be the effect of the "Return" utterance; he had experimented long ago. His current power could affect objects, dispel black magic effects, and expel foreign bodies invading the body, but it wasn't yet sufficient to revert a living organism's damaged state. Healing wounds like this was impossible.<!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----></ms-cmark-node>

This might be the effect of Abigail's finger. Life-based black magic could modify a creature's body and also heal external injuries to some extent. He had personally seen Abigail twist off her own finger, only for it to grow back on the spot. Having accepted a part of Abigail's body, perhaps his own body had been influenced to some degree.<!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----></ms-cmark-node>

Life magic inherently harmed the undead, and Abigail's "Life" authority should have a similar effect. In other words, this was likely a side effect of the "Rebirth" gifted by Abigail.<!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----></ms-cmark-node>
