Reducing access to healing magic will change gameplay a bit. Nothing that the system can't handle, though.

Also, if you use random hit locations or enemies that target specific hit locations, healing spells are a lot less relevant anyway because the usual failure state is not "PC runs out of HP and dies" but "PC loses an eye or limb", which requires a visit to a template to fix and up to a month of waiting.

Bless on the other hand will be sorely, sorely missed. Expect Luck to be a popular advantage to compensate.
