Please, please explain how someone savant in magic and harness can consistantly fail in casting VH, even at full prep, when "beat up" and "extremely beat up". Isn't this what VH is for. I don't need to use it when I'm slightly battered because my stamina will recover it then. But with such stamina and years as an empath, could I not be more successful at casting VH... preferably snap casting... but at the very least casting it at full prep? I tried with prepping it at 20, waiting till full prep...which is ordinarily no problem but the day I needed it, it failed.... then tried with it prepped at 10 and 10 harnessed. Had no significant wounds but this was in leeches... thing is, though, I honestly feel I've played this empath long enough and trained her magic well enough to see some sort of compensation... of all the spells that I can't succeed at while low on vitality, VH shouldn't be one. I mean, why should it?
The only other spell that would help me at that point: NB... and no one around to cast it on.
If you don't think we should be able to heal our vitality when needed, why have the spell if it fails as a savant magic user when you're only beat up (30% loss)?

Rattles the pots and pans to get some attention - See Lisette's post.
VH as it stands, is for when you -don't- need it.

I would love to see Vitality Healing changed to make it more useful - most empaths see this spell as pretty weak, even with the recent tweak change.
How about making it castable at others - right now it can only be casted on yourself. That way, I can not only transfer the vitality from a person, I can also cast a VH on the patient at death's door.
ALSO I would be able to cast VH at the undead, leading the way to obliterating these abominations to life. Call me old-fashioned, but VH is one of the classic ways for fantasy games to rid the world of undead - except in DR. That way, I can do more while hunting with clerics than simply enraging the undead with Innocence or foolishly trying to wrestle with their vapors.
Sure, a Transference friendly way to obliterate the undead would be great, but magic works for me too - I'm not picky. Besides, this keeps Transference as pure lily-white non-violent non-controversial skill and not give any circling edge to field empaths (we wouldn't want to do that).
