Okay, now althought I admit that this was my idea initially, *THIS* example
is not what I mean. In the case of the guy who's been *potentially* abusing
the Heal/Treat spell magic, I was thinking more of having the guy
occasionally begin to have mild nightmares whenever he sleeps, basing them
off of his apparent success, but then having "flashes" of when he was
learning magic and it not working *that* way, but now it is. Let it play on
him a bit and wonder exactly *where* that extra power is coming from ...
Then of course, if the player is simply misunderstanding the rules, once he
looks at the spell and discovers the "by the book" method, the dreams can
stop and it can be discounted as simple subconscious paranoia...

As I don't recall that much detail beyond the Heal/Treat question on game
mechanics in the original post, I'm not sure the player is an actual problem,
per say. That was why the suggestions of "toying around" with the
player-character in question had started to be bounced around.
