Actually I like the variability presently in the system. There are some
harder spells (Healing Light and Regeneration) that will more fully heal
people and Healing combined with prior use of a decent EL in healing skill
can heal a LOT of points even with an EL0 Healing spell, see Rule 1.343.
[EL13 healer gives a +5 to the amount healed IF the Healing Chance is
rolled.]
  I also like that character should think twice before doing things that
may take awhile to be healed.
