This spell is a part of the Currents of Time spell chain and is found in the Currents of Time rune stone.
Memory does not forget what things were before they were changed. This is Memory's most fundamental quality - not just that it holds the past but that it holds it with complete precision, every detail preserved exactly as it was at every moment it has ever been. The room as it was before the fire. The document as it read before the revision. The body as it was before the blow landed.
When the praeteriamancer casts Past Restored, the praeteriamancer reaches through Memory to that last moment - the instant just before the attack struck, when the target's Vitality was what it was - and restores it. Not approximately. Not roughly. Exactly. Memory does not deal in approximations. When this spell is cast the target's Vitality is returned to precisely what it was before the most recent attack they suffered. Whatever number it held in that moment before impact is the number it holds now. The attack still happened. Memory is not rewriting events, it is simply restoring what was taken. Any status effects the attack inflicted remain, the evidence of what occurred still present in the body even as the Vitality loss is undone. And the target must have survived the attack to receive this. Memory can restore what was, but it cannot restore what is already gone entirely. The praeteriamancer acts quickly. The further the past recedes the harder Memory must reach.
