Spell List

For you, the spells on the Healer Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)

Spell Level	Spells
Cantrip	resistance, spare the dying
1st	charm person, cure wounds, healing word
2nd	calm emotions, lesser restoration, prayer of healing
3rd	aura of vitality, beacon of hope, mass healing word
4th	aura of life, aura of purity

Your spells resemble medical techniques taken to extraordinary levels. Wounds are patched with glowing threads of light, ailments are eased with shimmering mists, and your touch radiates a sense of warmth and restoration. Your magic feels like accelerated therapy rather than divine intervention, blending knowledge with power to bring relief.

Suggested Characteristics

Healers are driven by compassion and a commitment to the well-being of others. Their experiences have shaped them, often giving them a pragmatic approach to life or a deep sense of hope in the face of adversity. However, their dedication can also lead to burnout or naivety when others take advantage of their altruism.
