Dorcas is the one who came up with the theory that Sev's powers involved
turning back time to a point before the injury or illness occurred. That
theory is disproved by Sev's refashioning of Herena's withered arm into a
normal arm. Her withered arm was a birth defect; there had never been a time
when the arm had been normal. That power, and the power to bring the dead
back to life, was a supernatural power.
