Spells I have an issue with

[Anaraxes]

Mages are pushed toward dabbling in healing because in games, they're generally associated with adventuring parties, whose members tend to get injured a lot. And few players want to sit around healing naturally for weeks.

Recover Energy is a must have (to the point where you might as well put it in Magery 0 and note the rule change there). But moving it to some other College, or eliminating it, wouldn't keep mages from continuing to dabble in healing.
