Re: (TFT) Healing spells in TFT.

As Stan wrote about alchemical vs chemical healing potions,
something occured to me.  I agree with his point, or at
least the point I thought he was making: given the existence
of an alchemical healing potion, a healing spell should be
possible. 

However, if you want to change the healing potion from an
alchemical to a chemical one, then I would recommend that
the chemical version be used to SPEED the healing process.
In fact, such a potion would be better used to combat
systemic problems, such as infections or poisons.  Further
speed could be gained by applying a topical healing salve
(such as hurtloam).  Note that the chemical version may not
save the imbiber from death - its still possible to bleed
out!
