I love how fantasy-world and mythological this sounds.

Any time somebody says your writing is unrealistic or full of major plot points you just pulled out of your ass, just remember that in the middle of one of the messiest and most agonizing wars in human history at one point all the wounded soldiers just started glowing blue and failing to die.
