Regeneration

Regeneration is the growth of flesh after damage. Skin naturally grows back on its own but, relatively speaking, at a moderately slow rate. With magic any kind of flesh can be regrown swiftly, limited by the power, will, focus, and intuition of the magus.
As an innate ability, regeneration does not confer immortality. There are multiples ways that a regenerating individual can still be overwhelmed and killed:
* Starvation: lacking energy to regenerate will cause the creature to die like any otherhttps://www.quora.com/Is-it-technically-impossible-for-Wolverine-to-regenerate-from-nothing-but-his-Adamantium-skeleton; their own non-essential body parts can be consumed until they have enough food to regenerate it, but this has marginal viability
* Immolation: if more flesh is burned up than can successfully regenerate itself
* Disease: regenerators can still be afflicted with contagions, which their ability may or may not help them endure
* Drowning: lacking breath, the entire body will shutdown; if they are resurfaced before decay sets in they may be able to still regeneratehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphyxia
* Burying: lack of air same as drowning
In regeneration there is first priority in repairing respiratory structures, followed by digestive structures to continue fueling the body.
And, obviously, destroying any part of the body essential for regeneration will prevent them from regenerating. Every regenerator is different in how little of themselves they must have left to be able to grow back. Some require both head and heart while some rare others can regrow their whole body from a fleck of skin. Those that do not require their brain to regenerate will grow copies of themselves, spawning like tadpoles.
The speed of regeneration also varies. Many of those with the ability or the humblest village healer can coax regrowth over a period of time. Practiced magic or a special gift is necessary to be able to pop lost limbs back out on the battlefield.
