peer agreement (net): +1The healer does not have the cure in his pocket. Explanation: You could use "treament" rather than "cure", but I think the latter is close to what's intended here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-11-10 14:23:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Healing refers to the process, yes. I don't think it fits here. The phrase "in his pocket" is also metaphorical in English. If you have something in your pocket, it means that you have it under your control, or that you are certain about the outcome. For example: Federer now has this match in his pocket. |
