So... how does one... do that? I'm currently standing inside a pillar of light, i have a standard action to spend, and i'm not finding anything on any of my ability bars or anywhere saying "touch pillar of light".

Sitting at seven hitpoints... could reaaaallllyy use some of that healing right now.

Good question, would like to hear an answer to that too.

I usually forget about this spell except Playful Darkness encounter (optional boss in Midnight Fane) and in that case it hits him every round as long as he stands in it. So, while I haven't really use it for healing, I would try to skip round while standing in its area of effect (or just wait if this is out of combat scenario).

Nope, that didn't do it either.

Sorry for the necro but i could really use an answer to this question. I have the same issue as the op

[TamTroll]

as far as i was able to deduce, you don't. the spell is just straight up lying to you.

if there is a way to touch it to get healed, i never found it.

The issue with PoL is that you can only get healed from it once. It makes it sound like it is some fountain you can drink from whenever you have an action but really it is on once per character per cast. You can cast it directly onto someone or run into it to trigger a heal. However, if you touch the spell with 100% hp, it will still trigger the effect thus locking them out from using it again.

Thread answer. It's meant more as an undead chokepoint cooker that happens to heal allies once as a bonus effect.
