ideas for some magic abilities itza-chu might have instead of healing magic typical to the life element-
-sapping magical energy or life essence from another being and into himself or into another person. or perhaps sacrificing energy from himself to another (the extreme form of this was transferring his own heart cells into another person to swap out their injured heart, killing himself in the process). in a twisted way it Can heal another person just at the sacrifice of his or something else's energy.
-summoning thorny vine-like formations made out of energy to attack enemies.
-he is capable of temporarily raising the dead around him, mostly unintentionally.
-he may be capable of summoning extra limbs created out of absorbed energy? that might be fucking sick.
