There is a lot of power hidden in this spell, and although I appreciate that goodberry is a life saving wonder tool, we need to look at some of the benefits here.
Compare this to goodberry where the player must cast the spell first, stand next to the player, do a count to feed the berry to the target, the target must then actually eat the berry, then and only then is the player at 1 body. You would then need to feed them a second berry to bring them back up to 2 allowing them to run or use skills.
- Recover can be cast instantly and delivered from a distance
- Recover will allow the target of the spell to instantly operate at full capacity
I can respect that, I understand that the intent of the spell is to serve as the perfect pick me up, but it reduces the out of combat utility of healers, and lets be honest, a lot of people who take the healing school are non-combat players.
One spell does not weaken the sphere. This one actually bolsters it. If target is at 0 or less, any amount of healing brings them to 1. This spell means that they instead just go to 2 regardless. No need to pump 2 spells into them when you can use just this one. And to say this does not help the non-combat healers, that isn't entirely true. When the Hospital has stablized warriors in the tavern, 1 caster with 5 1st circles can get 5 warriors back into the fight, instead of needing 2 casters with also 5 1sts each.
