Changes: Healer

Healer (ToX) — **Healer** as it appears in *Tales of Xillia*.

Healer (治癒功, Chiyukou^?, "Healing Achievement"^[1]) is a healing chi arte and spell mostly used by martial artists.

Arte Description and History

Like the spell First Aid, this arte allows the user to heal an ally with a small portion of HP. It replaces First Aid in Tales of Eternia, being viewed as an innate ability earned through mastering one's chi rather than a spell, although it still requires a short spellcasting delay. In this game, it is conceived as a means of healing allies quickly while the dedicated magic users take the required time to cast their own more potent healing spells. Healer is treated the same way in Tales of Symphonia, with the added concept of recovering a greater amount of health to allies that are closer to the caster. The greatest potency of healing is achieved when Regal Bryant casts Healer on himself.

This arte is converted into a self-enhancement with zero spellcasting delay by Hermana Larmo from Tales of Innocence, while Jude Mathis provides this healing effect to all allies within a small range around himself with the same lack of spellcasting delay in Tales of Xillia and its sequel. Jude can extend this arte into Immaculate Healer if he is equipped with the "Second Artes" skill in both games.
