True about the Sting part but it is already established that FT mages can get up again rather quickly. I mean, has a full day of battle ever passed with them down after one fight during a full arc? :/ Right now Laxus and the Raijinshuu are the exception due to the poisoning but prior to this, the characters usually stayed unconscious AFTER a major battle has passed. Then again almost all of them have bodies of metal anyway since this is shounen.
