Genshin's Bond of Life Mechanic

[fulminating]

How would you have it interact with galvanise/catalyse - it sounds like the same concept but in the other direction, so cancelling out or instantly fulfilling the bond could work there?

Similarly would it proc excog or nah? Being able to instantly proc whatever effect sounds like a pretty cool interaction.

A downside would be that it might incentivise and reward medica2 spammers.

You can have a barrier in Genshin as well. The barrier would protect your actual HP while you try and fill the Bond. Since we generate barriers through healing, I imagine the HP recovered would go toward the Bond, but the barrier would be applied independently and still protect you. It wouldn't proc Excog because as you can see in the example image, the bond is not actually a part of your HP. Your character still has full HP while the Bond exists.

As for Medica II... there isn't any more or less incentive to spamming Medica II since you ultimately lose out on a portion of your regen. Though I imagine if you fill the Bond with a regen, the remaining duration will go toward healing the target's actual HP.
