it could potentially extend buff durations OR if used incorrectly move the target/party back to when they didnt have the buff hence removing it.

seems theres a skill ceiling involved and a high risk high reward kind of style
just a random idea that I would like to share
Health manipulation beyond filling up the bar is a dangerous avenue for griefing, unfortunately. Rescue already gets misused enough for people to call for its removal, just imagine a healer being able to revert your health back to 2 seconds ago. Also note that "Being able to extend buffs" used to be a part of AST kit with Time Dilation and Celestial Opposition.

In fact AST is the one healer that seems to be leaning into the "delayed" heal style, with Earthly Star and Exaltation, applying a buff that charges up then detonates with a power heal at the end. That can also be a potential new healing style.

>WHM uses Benediction
>New healer class uses "Revert"

Spectacular way to mess things up. Also, Server ticks might mess things up really quickly.
