DESCRIPTION
You can repair psychic damage or grant another creature knowledge of powers you know, depending on the version of this spell you manifest.
Repair Mental Damage
You can remove any compulsions and charms affecting the subject. In fact, you can remove any instantaneous or permanent effect caused by a mind-affecting power or spell with sharlayan chirurgery. Unlike with aura alteration, these effects end or are negated as soon as this spell is cast, with no need for another saving throw.
You can remove all negative levels affecting the subject, regardless of how it lost those levels, restoring it to the highest level it had previously attained. Also, you can cure permanent negative levels caused by energy drain or a similar effect if the effect occurred within a number of hours equal to your caster level.
You can also remove all magical and physical effects penalizing the subject’s ability scores, heal all ability damage, and remove any ability drain affecting the subject. Sharlayan chirurgery negates all forms of insanity, confusion, the effect of such powers as lakshimi’s dream, and so on, but it does not restore permanent negative levels due to death.
Transfer Knowledge
If desired, you can use this spell to directly transfer knowledge of a spell you know to another magical character. You can give a character knowledge of a spell of any level that she can cast, even if the power is not normally on the character’s spell list, but a character is limited to gaining a number of spells equal to her key ability modifier. Knowledge of spells gained through sharlayan chirurgery does not count toward the maximum number of spells a character can know per level.
Each time you use sharlayan chirurgery to implant knowledge of a spell in another creature, you suffer ability burn to your key ability score equal to the level of the power implanted. If you and the subject are both willing to do so, you can split this damage evenly. You cannot cast sharlayan chirurgery to bestow knowledge of a spell if you are currently suffering ability burn to your key ability score, nor can sharlayan chirurgery be used to bestow knowledge of a spell to a creature currently suffering from ability burn to their key ability score.
