    <t> combined with <tt> will never work with embrace. Whichever line's first will always be applied when it comes to healing spells.

    When you target an invalid target for healing, the caster of the spell will always target him or herself

    So for example: Enemy A is targeting Friendly B, you target A
    targeting A with <tt> would heal B
    Targeting B with <tt> would cause the fairy to heal herself and <t> would never happen

    Simply because <tt> targets an invalid target for healing and thus the fairy will heal herself

    Alternatively you could write two macro's, one with <t> and another with <tt>, but this completely beats the purpose of a macro - Which I find ridiculous to use in the first place and is a poorman's lazy tool for healing (or for PS4 player)

    Edit:
    But I suppose I could offer you a solution to your ordeal, although somewhat unorthodox.
    <circle>, <square>, <ignore1>, <attack1> whatever you can imagine by marking targets are valid placeholders for macro's
    for example:
    /pac "Embrace" <circle>
    This line would heal whoever's "circle"

    Keep in mind: Overly complex or unflexible macro's such as these would make your gameplay clunky

    edit2:
    As for why this would work:
    /pac "embrace" <circle>
    /pac "embrace" <t>

    If there is no one marked with a circle, the <t> would be read instead. This does require someone to be marked with a specific mark AND your fairy will not heal anyone else as long you have this macro, meaning less control over your fairy. (remember what I said about macro's earlier in this post?)

    The whole target monster = self-heal makes <t> and <tt> on the same macro non-viable.

    The most viable setup is to target all your heals straight on the person you need to heal. You can do creative things with attack macros. I put Embrace onto my Physick and Adlo macros, but not for the same reasons most do (range issues with auto-casting of Embrace).

    In my signature, there is a link to a guide I wrote on faeries. At the end, I discuss my targeting macro setup. I basically use <t>, <tt>, and <f> for my attack macros.

    I use "/merror off" for hiding error messages.
    /macroerror
    ALIASES:
     /macroerror, /merror
    USAGE:
     /macroerror [subcommand]

    →Display or hide text command errors within a user macro. Any errors are displayed upon macro execution. Setting resets to on after macro is executed.

    >>Subcommands:
     on Displays error message.
     off Hides error message.

    Toggle between on and off when no subcommand is specified.

    I've combined <t> and <tt> on the same macro for Physick and Embrace by modifying this macro. It works for me but it has little practical use.

    The bit for hiding error messages is very convenient. I use the same hotkey for Embrace <mo>, Aetherial Manipulation <mo>, and Draw <mo> (for placing my Drawn card).
