Other abilities and SQ Spontaneous Healing (Su):
A hedge witch can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time. The witch can “lose” any prepared spell that is not an orison in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower, even if she doesn’t know that cure spell.
This replaces the witch’s hex gained at 4th level.
Empathic Healing (Su):
A hedge witch can minister to a diseased or poisoned target, redirecting the affliction into herself. For a poisoned target, the witch must tend to him as a standard action; he makes his next saving throw against the poison as normal, but the witch suffers the effects of the failed save instead of the poisoned creature. For a diseased target, the witch must tend to the sick person for an hour; he makes his next saving throw against the disease as normal, but the witch suffers the effects of the failed save instead of the diseased creature. The witch does not actually become poisoned or diseased (and is not contagious and does not need to be cured), but suffers the effects of the affliction as if she had been. The witch normally uses this ability to extend the life of someone near death, giving him time to recover. This ability has no effect if the witch is immune to disease or poison.
This replaces the witch’s hex gained at 8th level.

Background:
Carla Hiibus always felt it was unfair that the people in Ustalav had to suffer so much. Since she was a little girl she tried helping others and learned how to treat the wounded and sick. She was always trying to learn how she could do more. Not identifying herself with any temple, she could only pray to the air and continue to apply the bandages and practiced care. She and her brother Stephan became an incredible duo, and together they managed to organize the care of entire communities.
One day before sleep, she was very tired after treating a family of woodworkers who had had an accident in their workshop. Without thinking, she uttered a prayer to any entity that would listen. She asked for the ability to do more for those in need. That night she slept very badly, despite being very tired. She had fevered dreams of her hands bearing life and fate. She woke up feeling as if she had no sleep at all. However, she felt empowered. For some reason her brother Stephan could not fathom why she was talking to a rat, but Carla knew the rat understood him.
This is when a drift began between the two siblings. Although Carla was satisfied with her new powers of healing, Stephan felt she wasn't interested in working as a team anymore, putting everything on powers she didn't even understand. Carla, on the other hand, begged her brother to let her take point and use powers that were proving reliable. Eventually they stopped working together. Stephan continued taking care of people on his own. Carla, on the other hand, grew increasingly worried about her brother's words. She did, in fact, not understand these powers fully.
Carla wanted to understand what was happening to her. After asking around for help, she was able to finally get help from a certain Professor Lorrimor. They met day and night, trying to understand the nature of her new powers. After much work, the two managed to determine that Carla's power came from a patron that provided her with healing powers. She was happy, albeit a little worried that she had enlisted herself in the service of another without her knowledge. Still, she felt that Lorrimor was going to ask something from her in return for all the time they spent piecing the puzzle together. However, the request never came. Only one day, she received a letter telling her of his death and that she's mentioned in his will by name. She was afraid that she'd have to pay her debt in some big manner. But she could not just ignore his request. She packed her things to go to Ravengro, wary of what expected her.
