Notes

  • Healing potency is 450 until Enhanced Healing Magic.png  Enhanced Healing Magic is learned at Lv. 85.
  • This action quickly become obsolete when Benefic II.png  Benefic II is learned at Lv. 30 due to the higher healing efficiency of Benefic II. At later levels, this action is essentially useless due to the abundance of instant cast and MP-free heals available for Astrologian. The Enhanced Benefic.png  Enhanced Benefic trait is unreliable, so it is essentially never worth trying to "fish" for Enhanced Benefic procs.
  • This action is analogous to Cure.png  Cure for Conjurer and White Mage.
