An interruptible self-heal asks whether the player can trade position or damage for preserving progress. The heal begins from a boss action, exposes a deadline, and resolves once only after completion. The signal, interruption rule, amount, cooldown, and post-cast opening must remain readable.
At 0.30 s, Kern opens a runic ring and commits to a 0.68-second channel. The inward motes and filling cast bar expose the deadline before any health changes.
Autoplay is disabled by reduced motion. Scrub across 0.30, 0.78, 1.28, 1.46, 2.54, 3.02, 4.18, 4.40, 4.62, and 5.36 seconds to inspect both attempts and the reset.
Define the start condition, channel duration, qualifying interrupt, super-armor policy, completion frame, requested and applied healing, overheal, de-duplication, cooldown, phase carryover, rollback, and telemetry that links one cast id to one result.
Choose health, phase, timer, or tactical conditions explicitly. Gate the action with a cooldown or limited charges so the boss cannot immediately recast until the encounter becomes a progress reset.
Define damage threshold, stagger tag, status, tool, hit direction, and super-armor. Resolve the answer on the authoritative combat event, cancel the pending heal, and record one stable cast id with its rejection reason.
Apply healing once on the completion frame, clamp it at maximum health, then enter a clear recovery. A cancelled cast should heal zero and still give readable confirmation and a deliberately tuned punish window.
If the bar moves during wind-up, the player cannot know whether an interruption worked. Keep pending and applied healing separate, and commit the health change on one explicit completion event.
An unbounded trigger turns healing into repetition instead of a decision. Limit frequency and amount, preserve a response window, and compare restored health with expected player damage per opening.
Store castId, startedAt, completesAt, interruptedAt, healRequested, healApplied, and result. This prevents duplicated completion callbacks and makes rollback and save-state restoration deterministic.
Measure travel time, required damage, consumed resources, and exposure to other attacks. The player should decide whether preserving progress is worth leaving safety or spending a scarce answer.
Track cast starts, interruption rate and timing, completed heals, overheal, health restored per minute, recast intervals, damage traded for interrupts, deaths after completion, and phase duration.
Light begins to crawl from the arena stones toward the cracks in Kern’s chest. Tavi crosses the circle and cuts through its central glyph; the fragments dim before they can seal the elemental.
Combine pose, sound cadence, inward particles, cast progress, and a completion pulse. Offer a longer window, lower interrupt threshold, reduced heal, fewer casts, or a dedicated counter prompt without changing the underlying rule.
Self-healing begins from a boss decision or encounter condition and can expose a channel. On-hit healing requires eligible contact with a target, while an external healing source belongs to another entity that may be attacked separately.
At 2:17, Vicar Amelia withdraws and begins her prayer while the hunter selects Numbing Mist. The long pose and golden recovery state create a response window; damage can interrupt it, while the item temporarily blocks further healing.
At 0:17, the Collector drinks the Panacea behind a protective field and restores health. Early protected drinks teach the rule safely; the final unshielded drink changes the same readable action into an interruption objective.
At 1:53, Sabrina’s Alakazam uses Recover in a turn-based exchange. The move has no spatial channel, so the command text and HP bar carry the entire signal and result contract; the encounter still needs limits that prevent endless progress reversal.
