You do? Clever lad! Mind explaining it to me? We've puzzled over it for hours...
Have you seen the errata note that makes it a normal sorcery spell and not have the special duration? This means it is useless without Duration.

Provided the blow hasn't crippled or severed the limb the right amount of Heal (whether in one burst or in stages) will restore full function.

Heal can't restore crippled limbs unless it is applied within 10 rounds. It cannot restore severed limbs at all. (See p 43 of the player's book: Healing Magic.) One point of dispute is how much Heal is needed to stop bleeding. There used to be a rule for this under RQ2 but not under RQ3.

Scars are probably still formed. I seem to recall that the portrait of the Humakti Sword Londra of Londros from the early Chaosium house campaign showed her covered in small scars. I envisage Heal as boosting the speed but not the extent of healing.

Heal is always better than Treat Wounds. The sorcery system is crocked. I'm sorry. (And I personally don't like Sandy's fix of it. Ho Hum.)
