Hmmm, good point yourself. I'm pretty sure you're right about not being able to heal damage until the condition is met - but the default AF doesn't have Non-Reciprocal Damage, the base form takes proportional damage. In fact the whole point of using this technique for Spirit Warriors depends on shared fatigue damage, at least to emulate 3e Voodoo.
So, would it be logical to hinder
the base form's healing or fatigue recovery because of a disadvantage only the other form has? I'm talking about other kinds of Dependency, like the irradiated dragon blood example. There's also the hypothetical case of an Afflicted Dependency that then wears off - would you say that no longer having the Dependency would also then allow the damage to be healed without meeting the condition? I think most GMs would, and I think I'd rule that the base form isn't hindered by the AF's Dependency's unhealing (which the character no longer "has"). But I could see it going either way, and of course the RAW agrees with you.
