    Well, it's pretty self explanatory. To increase the utility of this card, I really wish you could "target self". It makes sense for the cleric to be a "healing presence", and I often find that my cleric is the one who is least in need of healing, so turning my cleric into something that heals all adjacent allies would be great. I'm guessing that since it's a low level spell that's why it's limited in this way, but still, one can wish. Thoughts?

    I don't see why it shouldn't be self-targetable. However, it would probably up the rarity one notch which would require re-balancing all the items. So it'll probably not happen.
    But, a new card which does the same and IS self-targetable would be welcome.

    I've often thought the same thing. Obviously the card would be more powerful if it could self-target, but I don't think it would make such a difference that items would need rebalancing.

    I wouldn't strongly advocate for this change, but I would say that the change would have removed some minor moments of frustration I've had with the card in the past...

    One issue with a lot of support cards is that when you lose a man their value is halved or worse. This is much less an issue with self-targeting cards.

    I have had the same thought multiple times. As it is, the card is pretty underwhelming. I don't think adding the self-cast option would break balance.

    Yeah I would tend to agree that it would increase the cards utility but I don't think it would be unbalancing. I still find the card useful especially in all cleric groups. I sort of feel the same way about righteous fury.

    My vote is along the same lines. I really dislike the card, I value it around the same lines as minor heal. It's so not a bronze at this point in my eyes.
