Can confirm, but I must also make a distinction that sometimes gets misconstrued: A Conjurer of the Stillglade Fane will only heal what the elementals give them permission to heal, but that does not mean that the elementals deny these Conjurers the ability to heal these people. A Conjurer may choose to defy the will of the elementals and heal anyone they so choose, but at great cost to themselves.

When their fury is on them, there is no safety to be had in the wood─not even for those of us who fight to protect it. The beast tribes are as different from us as night from day─plain and simple. There's no sense trying to understand them, much less live side by side.
And a swift exile from Gridania awaits any who hold otherwise. Aye, we had a healer years ago who found that out to his cost. Seemed a good enough sort...until the day he tended to the wounds of an injured bloody Ixal, citing “the healers' oath†or some such nonsense. What could possibly bring a man to take pity on that filth?
