Highly unlikely, based off the past couple of updates it's almost certainly result of the injuries we took walking to the forge that resulted in major burns among other things. No accidental bisection at all.I assume we accidently cut off our lower body with our sword, in which case panicking won't help.
Success! Man that was easy to fix, just imagine if you panicked and did something extreme, like replacing your sense of sight with your sense of touch or overloaded your nervous system with magic in the vain hope you could feel anything again.
