My reading of the spell would match toastedamphibian, two castings, would allow you to channel in a crowded room, and only hit your party.
It eats an Immediate action, so it's not prone to being abused, it eats THEIR standard, and has a reasonably short duration, AND costs spell slots?
Were it a game I was running, I'd have zero issues with the spell, and in fact, I just forwarded it to one of my players, just so that he would have it as an option, should he choose to use it.
That said, as with all things, check with your DM pregame, as YMMV. What I'm totally OK with for a home game, may not be the same as everyone else. (I don't PFS much, and what little I did, was as a pbp player, so not going to even guess on if it's on the Approved list.)
How do multiple castings of Healing Token work?
I'm 9th level, with a party of 6. I cast Healing Token twice, on 6 symbols, one for each party member.
Everyone is within 30'. Someone please [sic] for healing. I channel as an immediate. Does everyone get healed? Only people with tokens from the same casting as the person pleading? If so, can a symbol be targeted twice?
You imbue one touched holy symbol per 3 caster levels with a connection to your own divine power, turning the touched holy symbols into tokens of healing. Each of the targeted holy symbols can represent any deity regardless of the deity’s actual alignment.
So long as the tokens are holy symbols, then at 9th level you can cast it on three at once, as you expect. The spell has no mention of the effects ending on the previous tokens if you cast it again, so the second casting simply creates more tokens.
As long as you wear or carry your divine focus, any creature carrying a token of healing can make a plea for healing in a language you understand as a standard action. When they do this, you are silently alerted to the plea for healing and can magically heal the target as an immediate action anytime before the end of your next turn.
The only requirement is having your divine focus. It doesn't specify, but in the case that you have more than one, I'd say you wouldn't necessarily need to use the same one on everything to get the effect desired.
The magical healing you use to do this can be either a supernatural ability that heals damage (if you have uses available) or a spell or spell-like ability that belongs to the healing subschool (if you can cast any). In either case, to use the ability or cast the spell through this spell, you must be able to include or target that creature, and the ability’s activation time or spell’s casting time must be no longer than one standard action.
This language is a little strange as far as targeting is concerned. I would reason that the spell or ability is used as normal, with its normal range and/or set of targets. So if you're channeling, the effect centers on you as normal, not the token.
If the ability or healing spell you use through a token would affect multiple creatures, such as mass cure light wounds, the ability or spell affects the creature that pleaded for healing as well as any other creatures within the healing spell’s normal range that are also holding a holy symbol imbued with this spell.
Again, a little strange, as it doesn't address multiple castings of the same spell. Since you're using the same spell to imbue all of the tokens, and it says "this spell," not "this casting" or something similar, that it would affect all characters with tokens regardless of which casting made them.
Assuming you used the same Divine Focus on each casting, I read it as affecting all of them.
I disagree, as stated above. As long as you have a proper divine focus, that should be the only requirement.
As with everything, though, as Roonfizzle said, check with your GM to find out how they want to run it.
