How does one heal a Spiritualist's Phantom: inflict wounds or cure wounds? What about a Shadow Caller's Shade, would those be any different?

It would seem profoundly *wrong* for a Phantom to be healed by cure rather than inflict spells - especially when their Spiritualist is a Dhampir, like mine!

Phantoms are Outsiders, not Undead. They have a CON score. They're healed by Positive energy.

Dhampirs have a specific call out saying they're healed by Negative energy despite being a living creature. Phantoms and Shades do not.

A Shade does blur the line between a bit more but they're not Undead and they still have a CON score and have no call out saying they're healed by Negative Energy.


I still have to make my Swashbuckler-Shadow Caller Spiritualist named Peter Pan...
