Confused about Heal and Harm

I'm a bit confused about the wording of 'Heal spell. If I use the two-action version, the first level spell heals 1d8+8 hit points; that I can get. How about the three-action version of the first level spell, is it 1d8+8 or just 1d8 hit points to all within 30 feet?

How about the second level heightened version? It's clear that one-action heal restores 2d8 and the two-action version 2d8+16 to one target, but again, does the three-action heal restore 2d8 or 2d8+16 to all living targets?

Am I missing something here?

The +8 bonus per level only applies to the 2 action version of the spell.

As an additional note (because this was something I missed at first) it also only applies when restoring HP, it adds nothing when using the spell to cause damage to undead.

Harm has the same restrictions.

It only gets the +8 on the two action version when restoring HP to undead. Otherwise, it's just d8s.

Oh, I see that now; thanks to both of you for your replies! :)

It really makes sense that both spells have a lesser impact if used to inflict damage. I like that.
