Spell Name: Pleasant Rain/Shining Rain/Healing Rain/Soothing Rain/Protective Rain
Spell Tree: Well-Spring
What It Does: What this spell does is that randomly over the RPB, it spawns a few fluffy white 'clouds'. Lets say, 1-3. These clouds 'rain', which would lead to the next part of the spell. Under these clouds, a number of 'well-spring' tiles (the same ones pond and burst has) appears in a circular formation around the cloud. So sort of like small AoE's, alittle like cosmic's star rain. These would not heal the caster, but allow for zoning and potentially healing other-teammates. Maybe these small AoE's could 'slow', provide a AP buff or DR buff if standing on it, or something else. But the idea is to stick to these puddles, and so benefit and play around them.
Alternatively, make the 'cloud' part the same. But instead of just dropping healing AoE's, it drops a pickup like blood sacrifice instead, just one or a few. But instead of 'healing' these pickups provide a temporary shield for the caster that picks it up. Not too much, and not too long in duration, but enough together that it is worth it. Make them spread out and random so there is counterplay like blood sacrifice, yet strictly not playing into 'just healing'. It would sort of fit with Sanctuary too
Visual:
A Cloud DMI combined with well-spring pond tiles. Do you know that staff from Terraria that summons small clouds? The Nimbus rod? Basically it would be a cloud like that, combined with the raining. With a very low transparency (but enough to see), I think both could work. The tiles themselves could be simple well-spring tiles. And the other pickups could be... Hm, maybe a Typhoon? A smaller sanctuary bubble? Something water and protective, so bubbles would probably work best.
