As a cleric it's just not very efficient or useful. It's expensive
(especially at low levels) to keep enough bandages on you to practice it and
use it effectively and it doesn't take much for me to just cast a heal on
somebody. If we could summon bandages like mages it might be more useful,
but then we'd still be using mana so we may as well just cast heal... As a
warrior (who has more strength to carry around extra stuff and no ability to
heal any other way) the bind wound skill is much more useful.
