why is it that i have to mash my hotkey a few times before the healing spell works?
(I'm using "Heal 1")
Known bug.
Q: I can't use healing spells outside of battle??
A: Sorry, another bug ><
You can still use the healing spells by binding them to a HOTKEY in the F2 menu.
However, make sure you have access to a healing spell! (they are all in the "Holy" tree).

Q: OK, I bound a spell to a hotkey, but nothing happens!
A: Right, it certainly looks that way. There is a bug causing the screen to fail to update after using a healing spell outside of battle. When you heal to full HP (many clicks later in most cases!) you will notice the screen updates. So, mash that healing key to update your screen stats!
