+====== Heal ======
+{{ rpd:images:heal_spell.png|Heal Spell }}
+**Heal** is a spell in Remixed Pixel Dungeon with Witchcraft Affinity (also available to Priest and PlagueDoctor affinities).
+==== Description ====
+The Heal spell restores a portion of the target's health instantly, making it valuable for emergency situations. The healing amount is calculated as 20% of the target's max HP multiplied by the caster's skill level (with a minimum of 1 HP healed).
+==== Stats ====
+  * **Magic Affinity:** [[en:rpd:witchcraft_affinity|Witchcraft]] (also available in [[en:rpd:priest_class|Priest]] and [[en:rpd:plague_doctor_affinity|Plague Doctor]] affinities)
+  * **Targeting:** Char (can target any character on the map)
+  * **Level:** 2
+  * **Mana Cost:** 5
+  * **Cast Time:** 1 turn
+  * **Cooldown:** 2 turns
+==== Mechanics ====
+The spell heals the target character for (Max HP / 5 * Caster's skill level) hit points, with a minimum of 1 point healed, according to the Lua implementation.
+The exact formula from the Lua code is: heal = target:ht() / 5. * caster:skillLevel()
+This means that for a full-health target:
+  * At caster skill level 1: heals 20% of target's max HP (minimum 1)
+  * At caster skill level 2: heals 40% of target's max HP (minimum 1)
+  * At caster skill level 3: heals 60% of target's max HP (minimum 1)
+  * And so on...
+==== Usage ====
+The Heal spell can be used for:
+  * Emergency health restoration during dangerous encounters
+  * Healing yourself in combat situations
+  * Healing allies or pets
+  * Supporting pets during challenging fights
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Best used when health is critically low
+  * Can heal allies and pets as well as yourself
+  * Good for supporting pets during challenging fights
+  * The healing scales with your skill level
+  * Be mindful of the 2-turn [[en:rpd:cooldown|cooldown]] when planning healing

+==== Data Validation ====
+  * Lua Spell Stats (Heal.lua): MagicAffinity = ''Witchcraft'', TargetingType = ''char'', Level = 2, CastTime = 1, SpellCost = 5, Cooldown = 2
+  * Healing Formula (Lua): ''heal = target:ht() / 5. * caster:skillLevel()'' with minimum of 1 HP healing
+  * Healing Effect (Lua): ''target:heal(math.max(1, heal), caster)'' - heals calculated amount with minimum 1 HP
+  * String Resources: ''Heal_Name'' and ''Heal_Info'' in strings_all.xml
+  * The heal method call in Char.java ensures the healing is properly applied with the caster as the source (for tracking and mechanics purposes)
