B S S: Mask Of Healing


Toa Nidhiki05

For the record, I support the canonization of a Mask of Healing. For those who are against, I will explain my reasoning here, as well as what I believe the Mask should not be able to do.

 

First off, here is what the proposed mask would be able to do:

 

The Mask of Healing would have the same powers as Toa Iruini's Healing Rhotuka. The Kanohi would be able to cure physical ailments of living beings. It would cure diseases/plagues and insanity caused by a physical ailment. It would also heal the organic parts of a wounded being.

 

The Mask of Healing would not be able to remove viruses nor would it not be able to heal its user. It would not heal mutations (I assume only the Mask of Mutation can do that) nor would it heal infected Kanohi. Insanity caused by a psychological ailment, like what happened to Karzahni, would not be cured by this mask.

 

Now, this mask seems like a reasonable idea; it can heal physical ailments only, not insanity or mutations, and as such would be fairly limited it scope. When one further examines it, you can logically decipher several other limitations. For example, it probably would not be able to regenerate limbs or the like, and would most likely not be able to cure a mortal wound. Taking these limitations into account, it would fit quite nicely with the other Kanohi masks IMO, and would not be overpowered.

 

Now, for those in favor of making it a Legendary mask, I oppose that idea. First off, what is the use of a Mask of Healing if nobody can use it? Second, Legendary masks control fundamental forces of nature (Life, Time, and Creation), not average powers. Healing is not a fundamental force of nature by any stretch of the imagination. Third, each Legendary Kanohi, when destroyed, would have massive repercussions to the Matoran Universe. For example, if the Mask of Time were destroyed, Time in the MU would collapse. If the Mask of Creation were destroyed, all beings in the MU would lose the ability to create new things. What would Healing do; make all wounds fatal? Clearly, making it Legendary would not be reasonable.

 

So, there are my arguments. Not as long as a Bonesiii one, but I think it works for me. :P
