The SendingStone review

#Aid is a useful spell for Clerics and Paladins to cast on themselves or allies, especially in longer encounters or battles. The spell grants an additional 5 hit points to the targets, and the effect lasts for 8 hours. What makes this spell particularly effective is its scaling feature. At higher levels, the amount of HP granted increases, making it a reliable spell to use throughout a campaign. However, some argue that the spell's reliance on a spell slot could be a disadvantage, especially in situations where a character may need to conserve magic for other spells. Despite this, #Aid remains a popular choice for those looking to boost their allies' defenses in combat.
