Theoretically, magical lifeless units heal in a province with a lab, yes?

So other than Goh, and chalice, I would suggest vampirism. It seems that immortal units remove afflictions.

The labs would only take care of HP damage, not afflictions. And immortals will indeed heal their afflictions, although I couldn't tell you how it stacks up against recuperation (#N).

That's what I thought but my Telestic Animates cannot get rid of afflictions, even though it's been 50-plus turns!

The Chalice does not seem to work either. I will try Gift of Health.

If I remember correctly, you indeed cannot remove afflictions from lifeless units. The Chalice is the best thing to heal afflictions, so if it doesn't work, I'm afraid Gift of Health isn't going to cut it either (they're both superior to using Arcoscephale Priestesses, though).

Telestic Animates have "Never Heals" tag. This means that they don't get their hps back unless they are in a province with a lab. Are you sure you aren't confusing that with the "Lifeless" tag in some way?

[Sombre]

Why are you trying to rid ****ty telestic animates of afflictions anyway?

Do you have OCD or something?

[JimMorrison]

Gift of Health dies indeed remove afflictions from Lifeless, as it's what I use to clean up my Marble Oracles when they get chipped.

What's OCD?

As for Telestic Animates, I tend to spam them, because they seem to be relatively inexpensive and yet durable priests for Dominion-increasing duties for newly conquered territories. Are there better alternatives?

Telestic Animates have both the "Never Heals" and "Lifeless" attributes.

[Tifone]

? Isn't the Telestic Animation in the province you cast it? How can it help the spreading of dom in newly conquered provinces?

(I may be wrong, but I seem to remember this way )
