Thank you for your reply.
So you're basically saying that rest until healed offers no time advantage i.e. resting "normally", casting all healing spells first, then at the end of the 8 hours I recast healing spells and rest again, and continuing like this untill all party members are healed, will take the same amount of time as simply resting until healed?
Rhetorical question: if magic users are memorising spells instead of resting (as in sleep), how do they get their beauty rest? Unless they memorise spells in their sleep?
