Lunar Revelation: Touch of the Moon & temporary HP

[likrin]

It seems like Touch of the Moon from Lunar Mystery enhances inflict spells pretty well and clearly.
But I am slightly confused on how the cure spells work.
Is it:
A: Barb got hit for 9damage out of 20hp, Clare casts cure on Barb for 10 temporary hp, bringing Barb up to 20/20. But it goes away minutes later and Barb has only 11/20hp again
B: Barb is full hp. Clare casts Cure on Barb for 10 temporary hp, for 30/20hp, but it goes away later.
C: Barb gets hit for 5 damage. Clare casts cure for 10 temporary hp, putting Barb at 25/20hp, but it goes away bringing Barb down to 15/20hp.

So question is: Does healing going over stick or get wasted? If it does stick, does healing need to occur?

It does not grant additional temporary Hit Points, it lets you get empowered healing that disappears. If it was meant to push you over your max, it should be worded to indicate as such. Instead, it uses the term heal, which would suggest that the answer in A.

On the plus side, this interpretation would allow the hitpoints gained to stack with normal temporary HP from other sources.

Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Temporary Hit Points wrote:

Temporary Hit Points

When a character gains temporary hit points, note his current hit point total. When the temporary hit points go away the character’s hit points drop to his current hit point total. If the character’s hit points are below his current hit point total at that time, the character’s hit point total does not change. Temporary hit points do not stack.

So, in effect, temporary HP work exactly like healing - if your current HP is lower than your current HP total, then temporary HP will permanently heal damage.

Or specific to your questions:
A. While the temporary HP last, the barbarian is at 21 HP. When the temporary HP go away, his HP drop to his current hit point total (20).
B. While the temporary HP last, the barbarian is at 30 HP. When the temporary HP go away, his HP drop to his current hit point total (20).
C. While the temporary HP last, the barbarian is at 25 HP. When the temporary HP go away, his HP drop to his current hit point total (20).
