No Cure for Evil	comment	Just as Good characters aren't allowed to have Bad Powers, Evil characters are not allowed to have Good powers — or, more specifically, healing powers. In short, characters on The Dark Side are generally incapable of using powers, skills, spells, or abilities that would serve to restore or protect rather than destroy. The reason is simple: healing abilities are almost exclusively used to help others, which means that any use of such powers is almost inherently seen as selfless or kind. As such, the Big Bad can't exactly cast "Cure Critical Wounds" to heal his Mooks and still seem really Evil, despite the fact it is in his self-interest to have his mooks alive to take hits for him. Likewise, Antiheroes are likely to lack healing magic or powers. Another reason for this happening, at least in video games, is that an enemy with healing powers can get annoying very quickly. This is especially true for bosses, whose Hit Points generally far outstrip the player's; several of the most annoying bosses have healing powers. When video games avert this trope and enemies have access to health-recovering abilities, it's often designed around it. The two exceptions to this clause are self-regeneration and necromancy—regeneration because it only applies to themselves, and necromancy due to Immortality Immorality and the general creepiness of The Undead. Many examples of the former tend to have powers that vampirically drain other people's Life Energy to heal the user. Not infrequently, "good" healing magic is actively harmful to the undead. Not to be confused with There Is No Cure. This trope has nothing to do with actually "curing" evil — for that see Heelâ€“Face Turn. Contrast with Good Powers, Bad People, for villains who not only get "good" powers, but use them for evil. See also Harmful Healing for one application of aversions to this trope. Contrast Healing Boss, which is about a boss that is infamous for restoring their own health.

No Cure for Evil / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In Dragon Age, you can't be healed by normal means when using Blood Magic (which is effectively evil Black Magic in the setting). This is likely for balance reasons, since the whole point of Blood Magic is to Cast from Hit Points. You are, however, perfectly allowed to cast healing spells, they just don't work as well on you. Subverted in Dragon Age II. Your blood mage companion cannot learn healing spells; she cannot even learn the spell tree they are in, meaning she also doesn't have the useful Heroic Aura and Haste buffs. However, Merrill isn't evil; she's actually one of the nicest people on the team. Meanwhile, Anders, the mage who's literally possessed by a demon of Vengeance and is guaranteed to commit at least one act of great ruthlessness, has a form of the Spirit Healer specialty and is in fact the only non-PC mage to have revival and mass-heal spells.

No Cure for Evil / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Very downplayed in Might and Magic VII: aligning with more moral Path of Light gives you access to Light Magic, which has a powerful healing spell... as its ultimate spell. It completely refills health, mana and clears status ailments, but imposes the cost of aging the caster a decade for every casting, so except in an extreme emergency you are more likely to rely on basics like the Heal spell — which is a low-level Body Magic spell, and hence available to almost every cleric, Light, Dark or uncommitted. Even liches can be healed by it. Plus, the ultimate spell of Dark Magic also heals the party, though it's through Life Drain thus healing depends on the damage done.

No Cure for Evil / int_1af341a1	comment	Averted in Disgaea; not only are there fallen angel clerics who heal their comrades just fine, but Succubi have a skill called "Evil Healing" which restores the target's HP. It's not exactly clear what makes this different from "Good Healing." Later installments instead call it "Sexy Healing" or something to that effect, which is more appropriate. Of course, you can eventually gain use of almost any non-boss unit yourself. As well if you use the master-student function they can actually learn healing spells, excluding 3. The class details do make an offhand comment about this here and there. In the first game, for instance, it's mentioned male Clerics wear dresses lined with barbed wire as penance for performing an act as 'good' as healing. This one bears some expanding: according to the supplementary material, it was Celestia that created healing spells. When many of these angels ended up falling to the Netherworld, they spread the knowledge of said magic. In fact, the only people in the games that have innate access to healing abilities generally have some level of angelic ancestry. The female healers are outright stated to be descended from those fallen angels, and the Succubi are also implied to have a similar bloodline.

If he ever tried to do anything associated with life and light, such as Working fire or Healing, his immortality would be forfeit. He's able to work around this in the first book since he still possesses actual medical knowledge: he uses coldfire to clean a gangrenous wound before bandaging it up.

No Cure for Evil / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei has a select group of enemies who can and will liberally use whatever annoying healing spell they like. Superbosses like Alilat and Satan have no compunctions about using Diarahan (full HP restore) when they're near death. Even lesser enemies who know the right spells are not averse to using them. Demiurge, Captain Jack and others have lesser versions (often Diarama - mid-HP restore). The Pale Rider is a particularly evil example-he summons two flunkies to cast weakening spells. When near-death, these will self-destruct, damaging everybody else-but healing the Rider. The Rider will then use the opportunity to summon more of his flunkies. The Ancient of Days will never hesitate to break out Diarahan if you either touch his weaknesses or take him to low health.

No Cure for Evil / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft averts this by giving a number of enemy groups in an instance dungeon some sort of healer, whether for normal mob groups or even for bosses in a few cases. It's even more notably averted in one mid-level dungeon; in the Scarlet Monastery Cathedral, the final boss, High Inquisitor Whitemane, resurrects the penultimate boss, Scarlet Commander Mograine, to fight alongside her. (Given the people involved, it's clearly not necromancy.) At one point a human paladin calls out to the (evil) Blood Elves as to how can they use magic of the Holy Light, only for them to reveal that they have literally enslaved one of the local Crystal Dragon Jesus creatures. Also averted by playable Warlocks, Death Knights, and Shadow Priests, all Black Magic users (the first two of which use the souls of their slain foes as power for spells) who have at least minor healing abilities.

No Cure for Evil / int_4be1bdd0	comment	Averted in Golden Sun: Many a player has been unpleasantly surprised to see Saturos cast Cure and Menardi casting Wish in the final boss fights. Menardi in particular gets some Fridge Logic since Wish is a Mercury spell and she's a Mars Adept (maybe she has an Upgrade Artifact... or some Mercury Djinn). Granted, given that they only heal about 80-300 health, all it really does is buy them maybe half a turn, as spells like Wish and Cure are far more effective when used on a player who will maybe have close to 3-500 hitpoints by the end of the game. (Saturos and Menardi have about 3,000 each.) Aaaaaaaaaaaand played straight when the sequel revealed they weren't necessarily evil. In fact, the only Mars Clan enemy who can't cast any healing spells is the only one who plainly shows evil intentions (Agatio). Alex still counts as an aversion, having been trained as a medic before his Faceâ€“Heel Turn in the backstory, and retaining his skills throughout the series. The Dullahan is even worse, not only does he heal 200 HP every turn, he also has a life-draining attack.

No Cure for Evil / int_526d4c5c	comment	In Knights of the Old Republic, Force Heal is explicitly considered a Light Side power. While this doesn't mean that Sith are barred from using it, it does require a lot more Force Points. The Dark Side counterpart to Heal is Drain Life, which saps enemies' HP and gives it to you. Nowhere near as good for several reasons. For one, it only works in a fight, as after all your enemies are dead, there's nobody to drain from, obviously. It also doesn't give as much HP as Heal does, and you can't share it with allies. You have to rely on health potions injections. Star Wars: The Old Republic averts this. While Jedi Sages and Sith Sorcerers have different names for their healing spells, and likely different principles behind them, the application in terms of gameplay is the same. Also done in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, with healing being a light side power and drain being a dark one - it's even more apparent in Jedi Outcast, which didn't have Drain. As far as their respective singleplayer campaigns, though, this doesn't matter, since Kyle ultimately unlocks every power from both sides in Jedi Outcast without falling to the dark side, and Jaden in Jedi Academy can freely mix-and-match powers however s/he sees fit, without it affecting which ending you get (which is instead based on a Last-Second Ending Choice).

No Cure for Evil / int_5755b96a	comment	Lampshaded in The Order of the Stick. After hearing that the army is suffering heavy casualties on the southern wall, Redcloak orders a squad of clerics to the area. When his second-in-command assumes that they were sent to heal, Redcloak replies, "Healing? No, they're going so they can zombify our dead. We're the bad guys, remember?" Redcloak does have healing powers (though being an evil cleric in a D&D world, he can't cast the spells spontaneously), however, but by that point he's taken some of Xykon's We Have Reserves Zerg Rush tactics to heart. Especially zombifying minions. Still, he is capable of casting all the same healing spells as a good cleric, and is even ordered by Xykon to resurrect a dead minion (admittedly, mostly so Xykon can threaten to kill him and use that guy as a replacement). Much later a recently vampirized Durkon forgets that now being evil he can only convert spells to inflict wounds, not cure wounds, and accidentally or not zaps an ally.

No Cure for Evil / int_5bd0554b	comment	Used in Warcraft, but Warcraft III did away with this thanks to univeral healing abilities: The Dark Horde didn't have direct healing powers in Warcraft I & II, but they made up with necromancy and an invulnerability spell. Warcraft II added "Troll Regeneration" to give Berserkers a Healing Factor, while Death Knights can heal themselves with the Death Coil Life Drain spell, giving limited healing options for the Horde. In the expansion set for WC2, all orc heroes had three times more health than their alliance counterparts, since if they died you lost the mission. Teron Gorefiend is also a Death Knight with tripple the health and can heal himself with Death Coil. Warcraft III averts this, giving healing powers to all playable races including the Undead Scourge. The Undead Death Knight hero is indeed a very effective healer of Undead with Death Coil but it works differently from II. They can use that ability to damage the living for 1/2 the amount it would heal, making them an effective Red Mage. This Death Coil does not allow self-healing, however.

No Cure for Evil / int_633eea00	comment	In the Revised Star Wars d20 RPG and Saga Edition, healing is generally a Light Side power and is impeded by having a Dark Side score. Dark Siders can still enter a restorative Force trance, heal themselves through Vampiric Draining, and use the potent Dark Transfer power for healing that can outstrip its Light Side counterpart, though requiring another being to drain/transfer from rather than being able to heal entirely autonomously. Vampiric draining and self-regeneration are generally exceptions to this trope, so it's still played straight.

As far as their respective singleplayer campaigns, though, this doesn't matter, since Kyle ultimately unlocks every power from both sides in Jedi Outcast without falling to the dark side, and Jaden in Jedi Academy can freely mix-and-match powers however s/he sees fit, without it affecting which ending you get (which is instead based on a Last-Second Ending Choice).

No Cure for Evil / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder gives clerics the same healing magic as D&D and pairs it with the ability to channel positive energy (for healing or undead-frying) or negative energy (for the opposite) for Good and Evil clerics respectively. One aversion exists in that the evil spell Infernal Healing allows fast healing over time, and not only is the spell evil, but causes the beneficiary to detect as evil for the spell's duration. The spell requires anointing the target with devil's blood, which can either be taken forcibly, or offered freely by a diabolical spellcaster. Second Edition mixes things up by making it so that clerics of deities with the right themes can break this paradigm. For example, clerics of Lamashtu can choose to have a healing font, throwing players who were expecting this trope for a loop.

No Cure for Evil / int_6ac55ec7	comment	In Dungeons & Dragons (specifically third edition): The Cleric class lets Good clerics (and some Neutral ones) cast Cure Wounds spells spontaneously as an exception to their usual Vancian Magic, while Evil clerics are stuck with Inflict Wounds and have to prepare their healing magic in advance. This can be an advantage if the cleric has The Undead in their entourage (or is undead themselves), since Inflict spells heal them. The blackguard, the Evil Counterpart of The Paladin, has a more limited Healing Hands ability that only works on themself or their fiendish mount, and has minimal general-use healing magic. The healer class requires a Good alignment. Becoming Neutral, let alone Evil, results in a loss of all class abilities.

Until her, the other evil-aligned women had tragic backstories (Widowmaker didn't even choose her path; she was brainwashed) and sympathetic reasons for working with the villains. As a support hero, Moira's healing is more potent than her damage, and her damage has the side effect of healing her.

No Cure for Evil / int_747a18bc	comment	In Battle for Wesnoth, the only default factions which get healers are the Loyalists, the Rebels, and the Drakes. The Undead and Northerner factions fall squarely into this trope, while the Knalgans don't get one because they have good defense and resistances and they would be too hard to kill if they had healers. Actually mildly subverted in that the saurian healers that the Drake faction gets are of chaotic alignment (despites the drakes themselves being lawful) and fairly strongly implied to be using black magic. Meanwhile, of the three factions with access to healers it's actually the 100% lawful Loyalists who have to go to the greatest lengths to actually acquire one; until it can advance one or more Mages to White Mages, a Loyalist force only gets healing from resting and villages just like everybody else, while Rebels and Drakes respectively can recruit Elvish Shamans and Saurian Augurs right away.

No Cure for Evil / int_999855bb	comment	Undead heroes in Heroes of Might and Magic can in theory learn healing spells just like anyone else, though they are the most unlikely to get the required skills and spells offered from their respective sources. But even if they do, they don't work for their undead troops, but Raise Undead takes the role as healing spell instead, and their vampires have life-draining attacks. Demons are likewise handicapped, without the benefit of Raise Dead — but at least healing spells do work on them if the hero manages to get them. In the fourth game, every faction has a different spell set associated with it. Life gets healing as soon as possible, and Nature has some regeneration abilities. Death's only healing spell is at the highest power level—it sacrifices one unit to heal another. Mind you, if you're playing as Death, you take Life Magic as a skill, and you conquer and build a mage tower in a Life or Life-allied city, you can learn proper healing and use it on your infernal troops. In the sixth game, the Haven and Sanctuary are the only factions that have healing units in their roster and can use all the available healing spells. The Inferno faction is shortchanged since the light-based heal spells actually hurt them and they have no healing units — though they make up for this with the ability to summon extra units on the battlefield. The Necromancer faction in this game is a rather spectacular aversion. They get a healing unit, a special ability that can heal troops, and a special town building that can bring back lost troops. Very downplayed in Might and Magic VII: aligning with more moral Path of Light gives you access to Light Magic, which has a powerful healing spell... as its ultimate spell. It completely refills health, mana and clears status ailments, but imposes the cost of aging the caster a decade for every casting, so except in an extreme emergency you are more likely to rely on basics like the Heal spell — which is a low-level Body Magic spell, and hence available to almost every cleric, Light, Dark or uncommitted. Even liches can be healed by it. Plus, the ultimate spell of Dark Magic also heals the party, though it's through Life Drain thus healing depends on the damage done.

The first case, the final boss of one storyline and overall True Final Boss, can heal because he's taken control of one of the main character's bodies. The other two, the Vanitas Remnant and The Mysterious Figure, serve as the games' superbosses and have some creative ways of healing. The former has only one health bar but will automatically heal himself to full health if you use Curative magic on yourself (although Potions and Spells that attack as well as heal, such as Faith and Salvation, don't trigger the healing). The latter can either use Restore Barrier to heal some of his health if your attack lasts for too long or turn back time to before you hit him and smack you around a few times. The Vile Phial is technically the Unversed version of the Green Requiem Heartless. But unlike its Heartless counterpart, it can also attack by ramming, causing poison status on impact.

No Cure for Evil / int_b79be7ab	comment	In Lords of Magic the Death faction does get one spell that heals them faster when they remain in one place. However, every faction gets a version of this spell, and Death's is not only the weakest of them, but it's at the absolute end of that spell tree, while every other faction gets it much sooner. Their undead troops also don't heal naturally at all, except for the vampire's Life Drain attacks.

He was resurrected by an evil artifact, drained orphans under his care of life to feed his Servant for a decade, and ends up an enemy in every scenario... But his natural talents in magical surgery make him the best healer in the story. After a lifetime of trying and failing to find enjoyment in helping others, by the time of the story he sees it as some cosmic joke.

Bosses generally heal themselves but not others. One of the grotto bosses in Dragon Quest IX (Shogum, a gigantic slime knight) doesn't cast healing spells himself... instead, he can summon a king cureslime. What makes this really nasty is that king cureslimes can cast Omniheal, which heals all enemies for 999 (a very sizable section of his 3600 HP health bar). Here you definitely want to Shoot the Medic First!

No Cure for Evil / int_e6267766	comment	Used interestingly in the books and comics of the Star Wars Legends. The Empire, in adaptations that aren't wholly simplistic, isn't simply evil. They tend to have access to the same level of technology that The Rebellion/New Republic has, including medical technology, which they use whenever it's needed. This includes prosthetics. But while the Rebel side likes to heal wounds and/or replace limbs with prosthetics covered in synthskin that look as close to the original as possible, the Empire is somewhat more likely to just mech everything up, not caring quite so much about how it looks. This is a bit odd, considering the prejudice against cyborgs, which is more blatant in the Empire, but that's how it goes. Naturally this is not a hard and fast rule. In addition, some Sith possess the ability to keep grievously injured beings alive for far longer than should be possible, but don't seem to possess true healing powers. Note the Emperor in Revenge of the Sith, who is able to keep Anakin alive long enough for him to be cyborged but does nothing to repair his extensive burns.note The reasoning here is to keep Darth Vader dependent on Sidious and the poor cybernetics keeping him alive. It makes Vader less likely to kill his master and take his place. Darth Sion from Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is this power taken to extremes—sheer force of will is the only thing keeping his broken body alive, and boy is it doing a good job at that... but not at making it look anything approaching natural. Shadows of the Empire goes into this slightly more. For a brief point it shows Darth Vader's POV where it is stated that he could heal himself with the power of the dark side, except the moment it begins working, Darth Vader instinctively feels positive and lets go of the hate needed to fuel the power. In Star Wars: Allegiance, Mara Jade is the Emperor's Hand, a sort of all-purpose Force-sensitive agent with some training. An ally of hers is horribly wounded and slowly dying, and she's helpless to do anything but try to take him to a medical capsule. The narration states that the Emperor has taught her techniques to heal herself with, but nothing she can apply to someone else.

They have no attack abilities, however, so they could even be considered "friendly" Heartless. Averted in three separate cases in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The first case, the final boss of one storyline and overall True Final Boss, can heal because he's taken control of one of the main character's bodies. The other two, the Vanitas Remnant and The Mysterious Figure, serve as the games' superbosses and have some creative ways of healing. The former has only one health bar but will automatically heal himself to full health if you use Curative magic on yourself (although Potions and Spells that attack as well as heal, such as Faith and Salvation, don't trigger the healing). The latter can either use Restore Barrier to heal some of his health if your attack lasts for too long or turn back time to before you hit him and smack you around a few times. The Vile Phial is technically the Unversed version of the Green Requiem Heartless. But unlike its Heartless counterpart, it can also attack by ramming, causing poison status on impact.

No Cure for Evil / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Villains averted this with the healing-oriented powerset Pain Domination for villain archetypes as a counterpart to the hero-exclusive Empathy powerset (the most healing-oriented Support powerset in the game, where most Support powersets are more oriented on buffs and occasionally debuffs). Pain Domination is described as, well, manipulating the pain of others, which has a decidedly more villainous slant than the concept of having empathic powers. In practice, the two powersets were extremely similar, with the six of the nine powers in each set being nearly identical to the other except for power names, visuals, and some secondary effects. And then somehow averted even more in later updates when archetypes were no longer morality-specific, so you could create villainous Defenders or Controllers with Empathy and heroic Corruptors and Masterminds with Pain Domination.
