ad_hoc
(they/them)
That's my point. Healing Spirit is so weird it feels like it was designed differently.
I guess I just see it differently.
Seems to me that they had an idea for a spell - summoning a spirit to heal people - and then used the existing mechanics for spells which have an effect in an area to model it.
The problem is that they didn't catch that those spells work because people don't want to go into the space.
