    Could someone please explain the bold part in the newly revised tool tip:


    Upon HP recovery via healing magic cast by self or a party member, a protective barrier is cast on all party members within a radius of 15 yalms.
    Duration: 30s
    Barrier Effect: Prevents damage up to 10% of your maximum HP
    Duration: 30s
    Additional Effect: Restore target's HP
    Cure Potency: 400
    Effect ends upon casting barrier on self and nearby party members.


    ...what? The way this is worded makes it sound like as soon as Divine Veil is procd from the heal, the barrier is cast on the party members, but then the effect also ends upon casting the barrier, thereby nullifying the entire thing. Obviously this cant be the case, but this tool tip explanation is strange. I was also under the impression that the barrier cant be cast on yourself, so this makes it even more confusing.

    Divine Veil is meant to be parsed thusly:
    Code:
    Upon HP recovery via healing magic cast by self or a party member, a protective barrier is cast on all party members within a radius of 15 yalms.
    Duration: 30s
        Barrier Effect: Prevents damage up to 10% of your maximum HP

                           Cure Potency: 400
    Effect ends upon casting barrier on self and nearby party members.
    "Effect ends..." belongs to Divine Veil proper, not the barrier. Without this line, one might think that for the whole 30s of Divine Veil, every time you receive a healing spell the barriers on party members are renewed. This specifies that once the barriers are deployed, Divine Veil proper expires so that it can only shield the party once.

    The words "on self and" are probably a localization error, though, as the barriers only go on the rest of the party.

    I did finally make sense of it not long after making my post, but thanks for the confirmation
