Sage-sensei,

How long does it normally take for a broken wrist to heal of its own accord?

Normally, six to ten weeks. If not left alone to heal, it can take approximately as many months. Joints are harder to heal than most other body parts and the number of bones in the wrist only serve to complicate matters.

That reduces the time left before the bones fuse completely, but depending on how the healing itself works may not have any other effects.

This might not be relevant, but how old are you physically? The young generally heal faster than adults.

About the late teens, then? You should still be healing reasonably quickly; a non-magical way to help things is by eating certain foods, but that might be difficult here with the limited selection. Still, milk is usually available, if nothing else.
