Right.  Mix it up.  There should be more to it than how many d of what
size you can heal.  If it's godly, put some _spin_ on it.  If it's
magery, science it up a bit.  Another thing: I _hate_ dice in the
context of healing (except possibly if a Chance-god bestowed such a
spell).  It seems to me a mage would research _why_ he sometimes gets 6
points, sometimes 1.  And as for clerical healing, it's just plain
_wrong_ to cast a healing spell after a great heroic battle, with the
second wave of undead/demons/heretic cultists bearing down, and roll all
'1's.
