    Sorry to take over the topic that’s just weird with tool tips
    Healing magic means only GCD heals are affected as they are called "Spells".
    Healing actions means everything, both Spells and Abilities, are affected and not limited to magic = Spells.
    With some mental gymnastics one could probably get the drift that magic only affects spells while actions means everything but I definitely didn't get it. I never found this to be particulary intuitive and I never understood why they didn't simply write "Increases healing from healing Spells" and "Increases healing from healing Spells and Abilities" instead of magic/ actions. Add "Weaponskills" to include the tank combos if necessary, but we have clear names for each type of skill (Spell, Weaponskill, Ability), why not use them?

    As to why... it's probably a relic from ARR/ HW era when we had only very few oGCDs and GCD heals were more bread & butter. So it made sense back then that buffs primarily affected GCD heals as they were the ones you fell back on when lots of healing was required.
