(TFT) TFT: Healing Spells

["Dave Seagraves" <dseagraves@austin.rr.com>]

   I like Rick's idea of a spell that allows normal healing without bed
rest.  I might adopt something like it for my own campaign.
   I gave some thought to play balance between heal spells and heal potions.
A useful heal spell (like Andrew Morris's below) reduces the utility of
potions but doesn't eliminate them altogether (even at $150 a pop),
especially if spellcasters are limited to 25ST per day.  I imagine
characters would still want a potion or two on their belts even with a
master physicker or heal-spelled wiz in the party.

IQ 12 SPELLS
HEAL (T): This spell heals physical wounds.  Cost: 5 ST for
   every hit healed, but only 4 ST if wizard also has the
   Priest talent, or only 3 ST if wizard is also a Theologian
   - but only if gods really do exist in the GM's campaign
   (and the wizard worships a benevolent one), otherwise the
   cost is 5 ST for everyone.  You can assume gods do exist
   if you're playing solitaire.  [Andrew Morris]

   I prefer this type of spell instead of the others I've seen here on the
list, and I prefer heal potions as they are in the rules, but I don't
strongly object to other GMs' methods.  To each their own.  8^)
   By the way, last year I came up with this useful alchemical potion:

REST: Each dose restores 1 ST lost from spell casting or
   other fatigue.  Normally comes in one-dose bottles, but
   some wizards carry several doses in one handy bottle.
   Requires a bottle of good wine ($30), $11 in common
   ingredients and 1 week.  Costs $80.  [DCS]
