[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2368611, member: 17296"] See my post above, it pretty much describes why they haven't done it. Irdeggman, Note that the "conjuration" healing is a mislabeling of the spell. Healing spells originated in necromancy, and if you look up the definition of necromancy, you will discover that a spell which maniuplates life energies, to harm OR to heal, is a necromantic one. The gods are lying to you. Probably to prevent mages from researching the spell. You can call ANYthing conjuration if you try hard enough, and WoTC is starting to do just that. Now they have "conjured" fireballs and "conjured" positive energy touches. That doesn't mean that there aren't the more traditional evoked fireballs and necromantic positive energy spells. Mostly it's because you'd have to raise their CR... but you could do it easily. Whereas granting a spell doesn't really affect balance in that way. Your analogy there is pretty specifically flawed.
