it will be explained, but it will be a while before that
Isn't it mostly because the lungs is a mage's output organ? Like he can't heal a vital organ like the lungs cuz he can't generate enough magical power to do so? Something like this. Also +because it's not a straightforward wound but an injury that came from slowly degrading the organ via smoking if that makes sense... That's how I see it
Not gonna lie, something has been bothering me for a while. Giryeo goes on about wanting to replace his lungs with dragon lungs worth 2 billion won. But can't he just cast a spell to fix his own lungs? We've seen he can cast spells to fix his knee, stop himself from aging, and reduce his sleeping time. So why on earth can't he cast a spell to fix his lungs???
I wish they would address this. At least show us Giryeo attempting to fix his lungs with a spell, or explain why he can't. This has been driving me crazy
