Absorption effects are simply preemptive healing. Just because the green numbers don't fly up for them doesn't mean that the game's systems don't count them as effective healing.

Admittedly though, if you put in Adlo and Succor as the two specialty heals, then Lustrate and Whispering Dawn (faerie AoE HoT) become the large heal and aoe heal respectively. Sure, you might think "oh no, then you won't have an instant heal", but that would be Excogitation. Alternatively, if you kept Adlo and Succor as the large heal and aoe heal, then the healing specialty for Scholar would become shotgun healing via Aetherflow abilities. Scholar is weird like that, and all the more reason why it can be a pain to balance at times.
