[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 7727460, member: 6788732"] I disagree that healing should be abjuration since healing doesn't really seem to fit what abjuration does, which is protect or banish. Healing spells have moved around the schools a lot over editions. Originally necromantic effects (which fits, you're manipulating life energy), moving to conjuration in 3e, and now evocation in 5e (I guess this kind of fits, you're creating healing energy and applying it to a target). They probably didn't want to link something positive (healing) with something that many perceive as negative since I'd say most associate necromancy with the creation of the undead. Some tags might be useful, but I think some of those are pretty much self explanatory if you're looking through the lists since anything with fire or flame is likely a fire spell and anything with plant is a plant spell. If you're using a program, being able to type in fire to create a list of spells would be useful, much as UndeheuerLich said in his post following yours. [/QUOTE]
