A game where most "runs" are one fight with maybe a slight bit of non-consequential skirmish, followed by long rests is not going to see "between combat healing" 9or between combat refresh" or any other "short rest" and long rest" balancing factors) in play at all. that kind of game likely sees quite a few skews from the normal balance between classes and likely one of those will be the  warlock (who sees his "short rest recovery short list of few slots" almost always going up against other spellcasters "long rest recovery long list or more slots")But, to your point, you may be underestimating the impact for Gms who do use multi-encounters resource wear down (the "standard model" if you will) those other spells like hypnotic pattern were already in play and already played their role at lessening damage and so forth and the encounter levels and threats were built with those in play and then AFTER the skirmish or fight this spell wipes out the expected accumulated "wear down" in a way that is more powerful than its rivals, more efficient than its rivals (in terms of time needed and vulnerability) so much that it really does seriously disrupt that play mode and encounter structure while making it the singularly "best" choice.This spell as written would require me as Gm to significantly alter not just a few things but a fairly major amount of campaign structural elements - and that is not changes in ways that i feel adds more fun to my games.EDIT to be clear its not ANY character but EVERY character and really depending on your POV it could be also "one" unconscious character if the spell was centered on its hex and it got the start of turn hits though there may be rules about unconscious and turns that i am not considering.)</blockquote>
