Some units heal battle afflictions automaticly, like the ancient kraken for the sea nations, and some pangea pretenders. And all immortals heal afflictions as well, for example the vampire queen and the phoenix.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yap.
I had a SC Golem cast Arcane Probe on R'lyeh capital to feeblemind himself, because I dont want to lost it in a magic duel.

Then put it into combat and...I lost the golem after 3 turns.
I checked the replay, and found that the "feeblemind" affliction has been removed.
No GoH, Golem cant heal himself, No faery or something that could heal others.
The Chalice on my capital researcher, and the golem at the frontline faraway.

The only answer is "The Chalice heals outside the province it is in"
