Healing Spirit and Shepard Druid Interaction

[Revan79]

Hi all, I hope you guys can clarify this for me.

Does the 2nd level spell healing spirit (XGE) trigger the
Shepard druid's(XGE) Unicorn spirit ability? If so or not, how come?

Reading closely, I would say Healing Spirit does not trigger the Unicorn Spirit. The Unicorn Spirit is triggered when you cast a spell that heals. Healing Spirit is a conjuration spell that summons a spirit. The exact wording about the heal is "...you can cause the spirit to restore 1d6 hit points...". It's not the spell, it's the spirit that's healing.

Think if you had a class feature whenever you cast a spell that turned someone invisible. Conjure Fey summoning creatures that can cast invisibility wouldn't trigger.

Yes, the description of healing is within the spell. But that's just because it's a one-off spirit that isn't listed anywhere else.
