Spawning Power is a pretty weak main attribute. I lengthens weapon spells and adds +% HP to summoned creatures, mostly ritualist spirits.

With the old ritual lord builds being nerfed significantly already a long time ago, there is not too much sense in boosting rituals like Shelter and Union anymore, or powering some elite skills.

Ritualists have stronger heals in Restoration than Monks in Healing, because they do not have Divine Favor (adds around 3.2 per point of DF, so let's say +32 for example).

This also leads to things like Necro/Ritualist Healers: While they used as N/Mo's Heal Party powered by Soul Reaping, they now get quite good spot heals and condition removal if a spirit is nearby with Mend Body & Soul...

-> while primary ritualists are still not in the same league in terms of healing as monks. They probably should not be that either, but made more viable as some kind of alternative monk, at least in PvE, not sure about PvP.

Suggestions:

1.) LOWER Restoration Healing (this will affect N/Rts mainly and other secondaries using Restoration magic)
2.) GIVE Spawning Power +2 extra healing per point, similar to Divine Favor.

This would also tone down Necro healing without having to fiddle around with Soul Reaping alone and putting the blame on SR alone, which is actuallly perfectly fine for a Necro using Necro skills, but becomes a problem if it makes them a better healer than the primary of that attribute.

Uhm, then Restoration Magic would be none Unique.
Restoration Magic is able to Heal without the needs of Divine Favor.
While Healing Prayers are weaker they can heal more with Dvine Favor.
The Restoration Magic's Role is Independant Healing while Healing Prayers are Dependant.
Their won't be no difference anymore, It's like seeing, Anet making another Warrior, their skills strongly are same so it's kinda useless, wheres the difference uniqueness.
And adding that effect wouldn't go with the name Spawning Power.
