Summary0007178: Healing Touch can be abused in battlegorund missions
DescriptionAs one of the few locations in the game that actively heals the player without the consumption of health orbs, the ally base in the battleground mission type can be used to create an infinite cloud of healing orbs.

Repro:
0) With healing touch spell unlocked and equipped
1) In a battleground mission, stand on top of the ally base
2) Cast healing touch repeatedly

The health orbs can be created indefinitely. Some potential fixes I came up with for this are as follows:
* Make health orbs created by this spell not attracted to the player who cast them.
* Make health orbs created by this spell not attracted to anyone at all.
* Make health orbs created by this spell vanish after a few seconds (any legitimate use of this spell would result in the orbs being consumed immediately by an NPC or other player character)
* Let the allied skelebots also pick up health orbs (not sure if this would fix it or make it worse).
TagsNo tags attached.
