[ Yuri has never required some external force or power in order to use magic before. That was something inherent to the individual, both in strength and compatible spell types, so for that to be rendered inaccessible suggests meddling to him. It explains why he couldn't use a simple spell previously. What an awfully compelling method of forcing someone's hand, he'll give them that. ]
I'm no doctor, but I found it practical to pick up a little white magic and field medicine. I don't want to be the only one there when someone's in need and be powerless to do anything about it.
[ Particularly not as a man who keeps record of those he's lost and carries their names around with him. Fódlan has certain beliefs about those who die before their time, and Yuri's loath to add anyone to the list of people he couldn't save if he has any say in the matter. It seems to him they have a few things in common, even if their reasons surely differ. ]
Not much way around it, even if we don't buy into their little narrative.
