Regeneration energy

Everything you need to know about regeneration energy.

Regeneration energy, also known as 'Residual Cellular Energy', is a form of pure energy. It is created when a Timelord's body has received a significant amount of trauma. Then, as a result of the trauma, regeneration energy is created at the site of which the trauma sits. For example, if a Timelord breaks their wrist, regeneration energy will form all around the site of the damaged area, resulting in the wrist being healed. However, if the trauma is fatal, the entirety of the body is flooded with regeneration energy, causing the regeneration cycle to begin. When a fatal trauma is created, like being shot or stabbed, a Timelord has around four to five minutes before they begin to show physical signs of regeneration on the outside of their body. This is usually seen as regeneration energy glowing on limbs like the hands and head, then usually followed by a sudden mass explosion of regeneration energy from the hands and head. This happens because of excess amounts of regeneration energy building up inside the body, after the body has been flooded with regeneration energy to heal the fatal trauma. The amount of regeneration energy expelled from the body depends on how bad the trauma initially was. Meaning the more trauma the body receives, the more explosive the regeneration will be.
