You look down at your feet to see the problem.

Your left foot is gone entirely, separated from your body through a truly perfect cut. You stare in bewilderment at your missing foot for a few moments before your body finally recovers from the shock of suddenly losing an appendage, and the pain hits. It's about all you can do not to scream at the pain of losing your foot. There's no point in drawing attention to yourself now, you don't need the whole shop realizing that a man is bleeding heavily on the floor. Thankfully, there's almost nobody else around in the shop, though you're definitely going to need to have something done about those security cameras and anybody who might've been watching them.

You really aren't all too bothered by missing your foot. While it's a nuisance, you'll be able to regenerate it in less than an hour, less if you want to spend a huge portion of your magical energy on immediately healing it... You're really more upset by the loss of one of your shoes, that at least will take a more physical effort on your part to replace. The good news however, is that you're in the middle of a shopping district.
