FAQ
Q: If I deal damage to multiple beings with this spell, will I heal from the damage that is dealt to each of them?
A: Yes. For example, if you deal damage to three beings with this spell (42 points of damage to the first, 21 points of damage to the second, 21 points of damage to the third), you will gain 42 + 21 + 21 = 84 hitpoints.
