It is equal in strength to a minor healing spell, [he confirms.] If you are otherwise in good health, and consider yourself at least somewhat sturdy, I do not think the potential harm would be threatening.

[Even if Fane is a weedy magic user, surely a spell called inflict light wounds isn't going to take him out. It shouldn't be dangerous for anyone who's advanced beyond roughly level two.]

Though I do not know if I would be able to teach it to you. All of the spells I learned at home are prayers.
