Going through the WoP section in UM, I noticed that all of the Healing effects have a Target Restriction of Personal on them; is this correct? If so, it radically weakens the Healing effects and makes a wordspell of Soothing Touch near worthless ("I can only stabilize myself when I'm dying, yet I have to be conscious in order to cast a spell..."). I also noticed this Target Restriction on the Life effect of Purify. Is this correct as well?
Means you can make the spells target either only you, or one target. You can't make them into bursts or lines or cones or whatever.

Mostly it means that you are wrong.
The healing effects have a targeting restriction of personal or selected.
Ah! I see what I was doing wrong: for some reason I was thinking that both target effects had to be applied rather than choosing between one or the other. D'oh! Much better effects among the Heal and Life categories now that I understand what the Targeting Restriction line should read as. Thanks for the clarification!
