Huh, ok. I mean, you're right that it doesn't let the player target the effect (and I'm not suggesting it would have to be the only healing ability of the class) but the player is still choosing to begin the chant.
I also think we may be using agency slightly differently. I'm talking about agency of thought & action, with the outcome being dependent on other factors. You may be using agency to mean "ability to accomplish desired goal".
Just to be clear, in case anyone cares, any time someone starts talking about agency I ignore those comments. I'm never going to be certain what the poster means, and I know better than to debate Forge definitions. So...maybe just say what you mean rather than use that term, if you find people are getting confused (like me, and others)?
