I wish I could tell you more about that. This was really soon after I first came to Thedas, and as far as I know, there's no magic in my world. None I was exposed to, anyway. So the main thing I could tell at the time was they were either using our blood or, more occasionally, either a junior researcher or probably a slave? It was hard to do much recon while being actively tortured. As far as subjectively, um.

It felt different than spirit healing. More, uh, brute force knitting a wound or an injury back together. Then again, they weren't concerned about pain or getting it 100% better, they just didn't want us to die mid-experiment.
