Arcane healing spell (bear with me, would like suggestions)

[Inconsequenti-AL]

Is there a way a character could temporarily get their type changed to construct?

If so, then theres a bunch of Wizard spells I've seen that put those back together? IIRC, they first appeared in Tome and Blood.

Hmm. I was in some PBeMs where the DM allowed sorcerers to take Cure Spells one level higher... Can't say it was unbalanced.

Keep in mind that this is also potentially a great attack spell if you have a tough to hit but low touch AC, low-hp adversary. The sort that usually has a poor Fort save.

Imho, this spell's asking for trouble. There are just too many issues with it- d20s are too random when you consider Maximize/Empower Spell, plus it's too versatile. Compare it to existing negative energy spells from T&B- you're multiplying their 'damage' output several times over.

But if you fail to kill them (by them making a save, you not rolling high enough, whatever) then the spell will have done nothing to them really
