Daggerfall:Restoration

The school of Restoration is one of the six avenues of magical study. This school is devoted to the salubrious and soothing powers of magicka, evident in spells like Cure Poison and Troll's Blood. Buying, creating, and casting a spell devised to heal a target are less expensive for mages skilled in this path.

Restoration's governing attribute is Willpower. The skill is checked whenever you cast a spell from the Restoration school of magic.

Notes

For custom spells, the Regeneration effect is objectively better than Heal: Health, offering the same instantaneous healing for less mana, while also coming with a (potentially gigantic) heal over time as well. Example (w/ Restoration @ an arbitrary level 41):

         22 + 1-2 per level                                Heal: Health Mana Cost: 80
         22 + 1-2 per level, lasts 1 Round + 1 Rd/level    Regenerate   Mana Cost: 52

Again, the first 'tick' of healing for Regenerate is just as instantaneous as Heal: Health, and in this example the spell heals for [1 + Level] times as much, for LESS mana! This is because Regeneration's [Magnitude] cost is less than Heal:Health's [Magnitude] cost, which makes no sense. Worse, the [Magnitude per 1 Level] is also bugged-low for regenerate. [Magnitude] and [Magnitude per 1 level] cost the same!

         22 + 1-2 per level, lasts 1 Round + 1 Rd/level    Regenerate   Mana Cost: 52

Transferring 21 [Magnitude] to 21 [Magnitude per 1 level]:

          1 + 22-23 per level, last 1 Round + 1 Rd/level   Regenerate   Mana Cost: 52! < Exact same cost!!

Doing this to Heal:Health for comparison:

          1 + 22-23 per level                              Heal:Health  Mana Cost: 109 < 36% increased cost

By level 1 Regeneration is already capable of giving more healing for less mana, and every level gained makes the comparison even worse.

Exception: At level 1, with a total heal per spell of 9 HP or less, it is possible to create a Heal:Health that costs less Mana/HP than Regenerate, but this is a pretty trivial exception.
