Her nerve endings must really be working well if she regained the use of magic. That arm is practically a part of her now.

Well, we don't know how magic works in this world, but it does look like it's a very good sign for her recovery.

It looks to be the same kind of DnD/Tolkien-esque fantasy found in isekai and Berserk-like stories, where magic is treated as a kind of regenerating stat.

Magic also seems to be connected to a person's nervous system.

That would make it more like Fate/Stay Night's Magic circuit system, which are conduits for mana that are akin to a second nervous system.

Given how close to death she was, it’s understandable that she’d need weeks worth of recovery after having major surgery to remove necrotic limbs.
If this were like D&D, she’s essentially been at stabilizing for weeks prior, and had to rest to the point where her life force returned enough for her mana to restore. She probably has quite a lot of potential, which equally can be explained away as; she likely suffered so totally and absolutely that she lost THAT much mana and life force.
I can only imagine what an elf like her endured to be where she’s at even at this point in the story. Hopefully she continues to improve without too much trauma from her past.

Oh, this could also be why someone with a "tissue/ organ bank" like Adamska couldn't fully replace all her limbs. Those may have been the only two compatible with her kind of mana.

Not too familiar with the D&D system, does it use "stable" in the way the medical profession uses it (AKA, not deteriorating further)?

"Stable" only applies to when someone is at 0 or negative HP (depending on the edition). Someone put to negative HP is "bleeding out" at a rate of 1 HP per round until they die (-10 HP in 1st and 2nd edition, or negative their Con score in 3e) unless treated, at which point they're "stable" (no HP loss), but still unconscious. 5th edition changed this to having 0 HP and then a "three strikes and you're out" death roll, but if you take any healing during that time, you just pop right back up.

I'm pretty sure it was still -10 hp in 3 and 3.5 editions. The negative Con score thing you're thinking of is Pathfinder.

Ah, you're right. I thought it was in 3.5, but I guess that was a Paizo original. Been a while since I seriously cracked open my 3.5 books, so they kind of blur together at times.

Pathfinder was basically D&D 3.75, so that's understandable.
