cure critical, mass vs heal,mass

[Icedfate]

i just noticed that both cure critical wounds mass and heal mass are both 8th pevel spells.

but why then, would anyone use cure critical if they can use heal?

[Mr Fred]

heal mass is normally a lvl 9 spell but certain domain/mystery can get it as a lvl 8 spell.

ohh, i see. so daeran gets it earlier.
that"# what sparked this, i was looking at daeran's spells at level 16 and he has both of these in his 8th level slot and i was wondering why would i ever use cure when i have heal.

but now it makes sense if that's normally a 9th

Also because Clerics can cast any spell with "Cure" in the name spontaneously by giving up a spell of the same level, whereas you need to waste slots memorising Mass Heal.

Mass heal is amazing I wish mass harm was also added, would help as a lich

Btw, you can also get it as a level 9 spell. Don't remember if you have to pick it or whether you get it automatically but Daeran gets a lot of Mass Heals.

It better be if I'm wasting a lvl 9 spell slot for it.

What else would you pick? Energy Drain?

If you're not playing a MC Angel, you don't have a lot of better choices tbh. Polar Midnight and Overwhelming Presence are great but the other options are kinda terrible.
