-Using the damage table, Callandra's maximum hit points are 36 at the time of the amputation; at present, she has 19 hit points.  She needs to have her hand removed, which is a cut through the wrist, considered a "major" amputation.  She survives the shock, but as a result of the operation, according to the table shown, she suffers hit point damage equal to 90% of her maximum.  Fractions are ignored, so this equals 32 damage; once the operation was accomplished, Callandra would be reduced to -13 hit points, which would make her [[Death|dead]].  Additionally, the operation would also cause her to be [[Wounds|wounded]] for 2 points of damage per round.  While the spell [[Death's Door (spell)|death's door]] would revive her, it would be more practical to [[Healing|raise her initial health]] '''before the operation''' at least 6 or 7 points, to be certain of being able to withstand the damage involved and so that there was time to [[Binding Wounds (sage ability)|bind her wounds]] before she bled out.

 Additionally, the damage table also indicates that Callandra would suffer 50% of her maximum, or 18, '''points of injury'''.  These points heal ten times more slowly than ordinary damage, ensuring that Callandra will require [[Rest (healing)|rest]] to heal as well as to ensure she does not receive an infection.

 If this roll fails, the patient has died; without any skill, and even taking every possible measure with or without the use of magic, the unskilled surgeon will not be able to save the patient short of using a [[Heal (spell)|heal spell]].  Even a [[Regeneration (spell)|regeneration spell) will not suffice, as the shock experienced will be too great (though if the patient were [[Natural Abilities|naturally]] able to [[Regeneration|regenerate]], that would be another matter).  The patient will bleed out or die from shock, no matter what cure spells or procedures are attempted.
