I would lower it to 5 heal (when you lead more then 90 priests you dont have unit that can be healed for that much hp 90priest*10heal), and reload 2 so it wouldn`t be used 2 times in row then gift and imba dmg to undead. Thought`s ? ( i got this idea in just finished game i had 1400 priests, and who need 14000 hp healing ? so i thought to make them a bit more useful in fights against undead).
I almost gave up on this one!

I had everything working, but the hint. As it turns out (I had a similar problem when implementing the Thorn's Gift of Life) certain abilities' hints are hard coded in the game.

The fact that it is called "cure" means that it has a built-in hint generator and it cannot be overriden! This was giving me fits all day today! So I called it "cure2" so I could use a custom hint - whew!

Screenies of the implementation are below.

Damage might be a little low, but we'll see how it goes - base heal is 2 and then priests do 2x damage to undead so base damage is 4. In your example, their Heal would be 2800 and then damage to undead would be 5600. If you had your Healer skill at level 3, you'd get an additional +30%, which would be 3640 healing and 7280 damage. That seems pretty reasonable for right now. Note that if the total cure value isn't consumed when healing then a charge isn't used - we'll have to see how that goes. I didn't put a reload value, but it may be a good idea to give them one. Also with respect to charges, it might be better to just let it consume a charge but give them a few more charges. Hmmm...
