I didn't subtract any dice from the casting of the Heal spell for The Crumpled Man's Essence loss. The last two dice were 1s, so if his Essence is 4 or higher then the result should be the same. The next two dice were 6s though, so any lower than that and we'll start losing some hits.
Per the Tir Tairngire sourcebook, heronitas is the second person familiar imperative form of "live, exist" in Sperethiel, just in case any other PCs know the language. Yes, I'm proud of myself.
Edit: Need to edit the IC post to reflect the fact that the first preparation failed.
