Also, it seems to heal the soul, not the body. Because I really doubt there were enough buttercups in the underground to get a dose that at least two 19 HP or over heals, and a pie that has who knows how much full healing slices, can't keep up with. The recipe was supposedly available before Chara's health, given that it was the basis of the whole buttercup thing. But even if we assume it wasn't there is the snail pie, which is almost that good. And a bowl of free monster candies. And a royal treasury to spend on spider items.

That's very strange. You'd think healing magic would be used to heal yourself as well as others. And if someone wants to say that "Well, its because monsters are so generous! They developed magic to heal others and not themselves" I personally think that's both stupid and unrealistic.

I mean, you'd use healing magic to help whoever needs it, includng yourself.

Magic that can only heal others is about as useful as a phone that can only recieve calls.
