I killed my team in their second quest because I didn't form healing plants fast enough. I really like this idea of making a pure supporter a full-time job! It's kind of like the "meanwhile, elswhere" setins in old-timey series, and we get to see what teh alchemist had to pull off until a hero in the field can just uncork a flask and presto - healed. But I got too caught up in watering my plants to pay attention to my heroes.
