Cauterize
A weapon enchantment designed to reduce healing. Cauterize comes in three grades. The first grade reduces healing by 2 point per dice, and reduces the strength of Fast Healing and Regeneration present on the target by 2 (Regeneration that drops to 0 still converts damage into nonlethal damage, but do not heal damage or reattach limbs. This effect is applied when the target takes damage from the weapon, lasts for two rounds, and does not stack with itself.
Likewise, Cauterize II and III reduce healing by an additional 2 each (So Cauterize III reduces healing by 6 per dice and reduces fast healing and regeneration by 6, lasting 2 rounds).
While the Cauterize effect is in play, the target will have a sickly yellow aura around them (DC 10 Spot check to notice), allowing designated healers to see that the target is suffering from reduced healing and thus not waste their healing spells.
