A quick heal (Mend), healing over time (Root), a cleanse (Calm) and the strongest heal, which is Facet (Table Mend). That matches the lore: the Tenders heal only what nature would heal, while the Facets put no limit on it.
From Spell Set › Healing
[ ] Several shapes may be confused by the recognizer and need a check on device: the Keepers' loops (Toll, Hasten, Linger), the Still Choir's short strokes (Hush, Calm, Listen), and Gale against Squall.
What happens: snow, no bells, monks signing with mirrored hands. Running is loud here: the valley echoes footsteps back, and monks stop and look. The player walks. Wen speaks only in mirrored hand-signs, the same gestures as mirrored casting, so the player half understands before the subtitles do. Wen asks about the Drowned Steps and whether the Sallow still hums (the Choir claims descent from the Drowned Choir). Wen teaches Calm and Listen (an overworld spell that shows hidden fragments for 20 s) at a listening stone.
From Walkthrough: Act 2 › Chapter 6: Faction Visits (optional) › Hushfold: the silent abbey
What happens: the bell tower has no bells, and something in it has been repeating the monks' signs back wrong. The echo glint copies the player's last spell and casts it back at them one turn later. Calm (Wen taught it at the listening stone) clears what it lands; the trick is to cast cheap spells for it to copy. After the fight Wen teaches Hush and Echo, hand over hand, and then asks a favour in signs: carry a letter to Lanternfall. The Still Choir is the one faction that quietly trades letters with the Facets. If the player has already met Iver, Wen's letter is addressed to Sorrel the unbinder.

[ ] 28. The naming lists. Story Bible § 7 gives Veil (Still Choir), Slip (Waymakers), Crown Ward and Culet Spike (Facets) as examples. The roadmap uses none of them: the Choir has Hush, Echo, Calm and Listen; the Waymakers Gale, Drift, Squall and Tailwind; the Facets Facet Seal, Bevel Lash, Prism Snare, Crown Surge, Table Mend, Girdle Gate and Pavilion Wake. Recommendation (new): swap the § 7 examples for roadmap spells, and keep Veil, Slip, Crown Ward and Culet Spike as spare names for later warp-born glyphs. Sources:
