Doungim Lore
School Fit
Abjurations are built around the word no. They raise wards, they break enchantments, they push attackers out of reach. Heal sits in the school because the spell ends, prevents, or absorbs an effect that would otherwise land. Level-6 slots are rare; Heal earns its cast when the fight truly needs it.
Class Fit
- Cleric: Domain-bonus spells fill some of the Cleric's prep automatically; check whether the chosen Domain already grants Heal before manual prepping. At higher spell-slot levels Heal grows — refer to the upcast clause for the exact terms.
- Druid: Druids prepare Heal from the full list each day, but the Wild Shape economy means prep cycles look different from a Cleric's. Heal scales when upcast — see the higher-level note on the spell page.
Tactical play (Doungim editorial)
Single-target, 70 HP, removes blindness, deafness, and disease. Tier-3 burst heal. Cure first, ask questions later.
