And I don't like the insta-complete healing option, either. Especially not if used deliberately and without any effort to have it have some in-world explanation. In a setting where the god you worship sometimes has bestowed miraculous healing, sure, but in the absence of a reason, I wouldn't want that.

Excellent points as well, Skarg, and though we may now be straying into houserule territory, in my own games I'm thinking about leaving the adjudication of Lesser Wishes (or 'hero tokens' as I use them) to the GM. Basically, the player would choose when to use their benefit, but the GM determines the specific form it will take so as to keep things from 'breaking character' so to speak.
