Spontaneous casting does not work with cure minor

I assume this is also true with cause minor, not sure if this is a bug.

Yeah, Cure Minor definitely isn't casting spontaneously. Add Mass Cure Light to the list, too. It's probably a safe bet that all the Mass Cures and their Inflict counterparts are in the same boat.

Confirmed on both counts, and put into Bugzilla as bug #1002

Added "heal" to the list of spells that should be spontaneously castable.

Thanks for reporting these!

By D&D canon, good-aligned clerics don't get to spontaneously cast the Heal spell, just the Cure spells (officially defined as any spell with the word "Cure" in the name). If FK clerics get to be special and spontaneously cast Heal, then I won't complain (I love Heal), but we should probably throw in the Harm spell for the evil-aligned clerics.

While we're at it, spontaneous casting still uses up domain spells, which it shouldn't be doing (again, based on D&D canon). I can make a seperate bug report for that one if you like.

I think it might be a bit much if heal spells are included (as a player of a Priest). It's a really nice addition for helping others, but it would only serve to further unbalance Priests in my opinion.

I agree with Selveem, Heal might be a bit too much..

All the mass cure would be a blast however.

Alrighty, Heal struck from the list. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, folks, it really helps!

Alrighty, it should now be possible to spontaneously cast cure minor and the mass cure spells (but not heal), provided you have trained them.
