"Beneficial" Spells?

[Arielle Nightshade]

Ok...what do you guys call a 'beneficial' spell?  A heal?  I'm referring to the Serene Symbol part of the STA line where it says "if a beneficial spell is cast...blah blah..."

 

I am positive a heal is beneficial.  But I also consider roots beneficial..as it benefits me a great deal to be able to root someone then nuke them (another beneficial spell) into oblivion. 

 

Beneficial..is...?    Heals? Buffs?  What would you say is the 'official' definition?  LOL

 

TYVM in advance

things you cast on your allies

[Crimson Dragon]

beneficial = cast on allies. "benefits" a group member or the group directly.hostile = cast on an enemy. an action that you could use to harm or inhibit an enemy. an ability that, when cast on an enemy, generates hate toward you.i'm not sure where our hate-drop would fit in here though. i imagine it would be considered hostile, but i don't know if it would trigger a hostile action effect.
