First Healing Spell Of The Day
So Minor Healing and it's ilk have a rule if you have Physician-15 or more you can't crit. fail, if it's the first time your using the spell on a given subject for the day.
Now, does this mean that if the above applies, I'm healing someone out of combat and they're not at immediate risk of dying that the standard +4 for non-combat situations applies? The only thing that happens if you fail is that you lose the FP, so it seems like it would apply. |

I'd say any spell casting does not get the bonus as there is always stress. Consider ceremonial casting is out of combat and gets no such bonus.
EDIT: agreed on the bleeding patient is stressful comment also.

There is no indication in the rules that mundane task modifiers apply to cinematic or supernatural skills like spells.

They're still skills so unless something says otherwise it's safe to assume that that rule does apply to them. |

That has nothing to do with surgery not being stressful. Surgery is a team effort, and having the support of a surgical team and a well-equipped hospital plus being able to take extra time if necessary for a tricky case will quite comfortably boost a skill 12 surgeon into reliable success territory.
