Hmm. You are right about the expense: Healing light heals about 2 to 3
times what Healing heals, but its BMC is 8 times as high. So, I would
tend to agree with your interpretation there.

Alex said something different, I think:

I read this as the Healing spell giving both immediate healing _and_ a
bonus roll (with additional healing if made). Alex, do you agree that
your interpretation makes Healing seem a little too cheap? Or healing
light too expensive, for that matter?
