:} This was of course the case in SR I. In SR II, the nature of these
:} spells has changed somewhat. You no longer heal wound catagories, but
:} instead each success heals one box of damage. And you only get one
:} attempt. If you fail, you can try again. If you get even one success,
:} thats it. Not unless the victim is wounded again can you heal them,
:} and then only to where they were when they took the new wound. One
:} healing, or treat, attempt per wound.

What about casting the spell, getting 1 sucess, dropping the spell so it
doesn't take effect, and trying again?

BTW -- sorry about the extra message I sent out. Wrong button. I hit F10
(send message) rather than F11 (Mark old material).
