"Once upon a time there was a girl named Cecily Clearwater. She lived in a small wooden house with her older brother, Elysian Clearwater, and a divorced mother named Leah Marie. One day, despite her mother’swarnings, Cecily decided to pick a beautiful red flower with large purple thorns. Its leaves seemed gilded withgold. Once she touched it however, a fine powder was left on her fingers that was impossible to wash off.Over the course of a week, the purple stain grew larger and larger, eventually covering her entire left side. Theconsequence was that Cecily could no longer move. Her mother and brother were entirely bamboozled."Unfortunately in the olden times, witches and wizards had simply no idea how to treat more major woundsand infections. The wizard medical field was, in all aspects, failing from a lack of organization andmanagement. St. Mungo’s during this dark time in the 18th century was far behind the image of itself that wenow see. The section for treatment from magical plant poisoning had not even been created.The future looked bleak for many until a brilliant man by the name of Sir Taylor Twimmings invented asimple charm for the curing of skin-based infections. It was a derivation of the
Scourgio
charm, and itscurative power lay in inducing the skin to shed its outer-most layer. The charm was known as "DermiosaRemova" and, with practice, proved its efficiency. From that moment on, there were no more Cecily’s andgrieving mothers like Leah Marie, at least, in the magical plant wards. It received a big reception in Europe but was less accepted in areas such as China and Russia. The cold weather proved a negative force; the charmwas not delicate enough to remove the thinnest layer of skin possible for maximum efficiency at that time.What would happen in Russia was when the charm was performed, the patient would then succumb to pneumonia. They were more susceptible to cold and it compromised their immune systems.
