Just a note... all the others who replied thus far missed that... But
in observation... this could be a really powerful spell. One MUD hour
is about... 2 mins... PULSE_VIOLENCE is 2 seconds... so putting a check
here can result in the gain of 60 * (amount healed). Very very powerful...
practically the same as SPELL_HEAL if you heal back 2 hp.

Okie, well, the best place imho to put it in is perform_violence() which
is at the end of fight.c. Here is the last few lines of that function.
hit(ch, FIGHTING(ch), TYPE_UNDEFINED);
if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_SPEC) && mob_index[GET_MOB_RNUM(ch)].func != NULL)
(mob_index[GET_MOB_RNUM(ch)].func) (ch, ch, 0, "");
}
}
Now, the place you probably would want to put a check for SPELL_HEALING_MYST
is right after the hit() call... you could do something like...
hit(ch, FIGHTING(ch), TYPE_UNDEFINED);
if(affected_by_spell(ch, SPELL_HEALING_MYST)&&
AWAKE(ch)) /* This is a sanity check in case you ever add something
in hit() that could cause a victim to hit you back or
something */
{
if(GET_HIT(ch)<GET_MAX_HIT(ch))
{
act("Your healing mist heals you!", FALSE, ch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
/* other act() statements if wanted here */
GET_HIT(ch)+=1; /* This value u'd change to alter how much to
heal back */
GET_HIT(ch)=MIN(GET_HIT(ch),GET_MAX_HIT(ch));
}
}
if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_SPEC) && mob_index[GET_MOB_RNUM(ch)].func != NULL)
(mob_index[GET_MOB_RNUM(ch)].func) (ch, ch, 0, "");
}
}

Well, you mentioned that you were looking for where in fight.c to put
a check... that's all that you were missing, actually.
