Contents
Generation
Healers start with a blessed spellbook of extra healing (along with blessed spellbook of healing and blessed spellbook of stone to flesh).
Effects
Extra healing is a directional spell that heals 6d8 HP and cures blindness. This will awaken a sleeping monster without angering it.
Extra healing restores twice the HP of ordinary healing but otherwise has the same effects. The effect is also similar to an uncursed potion of extra healing, except that the spell cannot increase maximum HP and will not cure hallucination or sickness.
This is an emergency spell. In addition, casting this spell at a tame or peaceful monster will yield an alignment bonus for each monster affected, even if it was already at maximum HP. Lawfuls and healers gain one alignment point, while chaotics besides healers lose one point.
Pestilence will actually receive damage of 3d8 from the spell, halved by resisting.
Strategy
A stronger version of the spellbook of healing, this spellbook is an obviously useful utility spell for spellcasters. Players who have spare skill points and already know regular healing may invest in the healing skill to be able to cast this spell.
If you are in no danger, the plain healing spell is a more efficient use of power—the extra healing spell uses three times the power but can restore only twice the amount of HP.
A creative use of this spell is to unblind dangerous monsters who have become blind (for example, by having a lightning ray travel past them or hit them) so that they will respect Elbereth.
Messages
