<div>My understanding of it is that it's a spell that is cast after the damage has been taken. In this, it is still like any other spell that is cast. I don't blieve it qualifies as magical healing (which could posibly be clarified), and the person the damage is to be transfered to sets the resistance (MDV). I find it rarely used in my games because it is balance magic. Very few of my players touch balance at all; the stakes are very high.</div> <div>Both the methods listed seem viable. I assumed you cast it after since there was no listed duration. If I were to look at it as a cast before, I would actually have the "duration" be a degredation in the amount it can transfer (like, 1 point per turn goes away). However, as a cast before, the MDV of the person inflicting the damage becomes "not a factor". I don't like that, personally, but it does still make a bit of sense witht this being Balance Magic.</div>
<div>Although, this has reminded me of another spell of questionable application. With Healing Light, could a wizard who has cast a spell like an EL0 Fireball to damage a small group of enemies very lightly then cast a Healing light to heal them, granted, but also incapacitate them for a full turn while his reinforcements arrive? Also, does this count as magical healing for the daily limit? Does this spell in any way protect those it is healing?<BR><BR><B><I>Scott Adams <longshot@darktech.org></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR><BR>Been quiet lately.
