[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4119657, member: 2525"] Sure it is. Much like a wall of fire is directly damaging you. The duration of the effect is not related to whether or not it's direct. It's just not instantaneous. Say what? How is it any more of an "enabling" effect than cure light wounds? You were always enabled to be healed, you just need to be healed. Cure light and Lesser Vigor both heal you. One heals you over many turns, the other is all at once, but neither are any more or less "enabling". And this isn't one of them. The spell does not change your status to be able to receive something. Again, any more than a wall of fire changes your status to be harmed by fire. There is nothing semantically in the spell that enables one to receive anything. It's the same positive energy received from a cure light wounds spell. There is nothing similar between those two things though. It is direct however. There is nothing indirect about it. Nothing ELSE is healing you - it's all directly from the spell itself. It's not like you are conjuring a creature, and the creature heals you - this is all the spell itself healing you with no intervening thing.
