The waterbearer has the following move in Apocalypse World 2e:
Step into the flow: when you lead a group in true ceremony, roll+cool. On a 10+, choose 2. On a 7–9, choose 1:
- Anyone sick is healed.
- Anyone injured is healed.
- Anyone distraught is calmed.
- Anyone bereft is comforted.
- Anyone lost is reassured.
- The source speaks to you.
How should I interpret 'anyone sick is healed' and 'anyone injured is healed' mechanically? The angel has to spend stock in order to get someone to heal or stabilize them over several days or a week, or has to risk an automatic 'open your brain' failure in order to heal 1 segment immediately.
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the waterbearer can heal an entire group for a nonspecific amount, and his failure condition is just opening his brain, not opening his brain and autofailing. And it uses his primary stat.
I'm guessing the fact that this move doesn't specify a healing mechanic means that it shouldn't actually heal mechanical harm, at least to PCs. What should it do, then?
