An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, then.
You could have a wizard pump X ST into a hero every round and then those 
ST are used first, assuming the hero is hit for damage within two rounds 
(basic Aid spell)

To make a more powerful version -
Wizard's Aid (IQ12?, IQ15?) - As the Aid spell, but the effect lasts for 
5 rounds

Another alternative to any new healing spell is to remove one line from 
Advanced Wizard:
Under the Drain Strength spell, remove "Can NOT be used to heal hits 
from wounds - only fatigue or exhaustion"

Or, if that's too powerful for an IQ 12 spell -
Wizard's Drain Strength (IQ 15?) - As the Drain Strength spell, except 
hits from wounds may be healed.

This assumes that the wizard could use the Drain Strength spell on 
himself, which AW doesn't specifically disallow.

All of the stipulations and caveats of both spells are the same as their 
lower IQ counterparts, except where indicated, so there's no new 
"mechanic" to consider.

The only thing I'm a little unsure of is the IQ required, others who 
know the lists better may have a better guess.
