It does help, thanks.

Changing it to:
High Concept: Genius physician just learning of his healer heritage
Trouble: Chosen heir to Cat Blue
Phase aspects: My Shakespearian parents; Brilliant Medical Student; From nice guy to nice kitty; My ever trusty bike; I promised Mum: "Cura te Ipsum"

Any opinions?

You could give him Seelie Magic and just compel him to only use it for healing. Like the Blind Spots box (YS179) suggests for mortal spellslingers. That way you don't really have to think of every limit up front, and every time something comes up, the player is granted a fate point. Sounds like a win-win to me.

I suppose. He is just a NPC and I know I (as the GM) wouldn't do anything with him other than heal, but I was rather hoping I could use him as a "sit-in character" so that visiting friends, significant others or younger siblings and the like could be included if necessary. And that would necessitate fairly strict guidelines of what he would or would not be able to do.

"Insert title here!"

"X" allows the caster to use biomancy at the speed of evocation.  "X" being a master of healing grants +1 to complexity of all spells involving healing (maybe even biomancy).  I'd go +2 if it was only healing.

Add some fluff.

Add in a clause about only healing worthy people or some such.

He can take sponsor debt.

Hm. *thinking*

I was going the plot device route... He wasn't more than a couple of notes the first time the party met him. Well, that's not quite true, only one of them actually met him. Anyway, now that the rest have actually met him it seems like one of the characters have got a bit of a crush on him. Her first reaction was "Kitty! how adorable", then she soulgazed him by accident, and he's so terribly nice that she came out of it blushing and is fast developing a crush. Another of the characters picked up on this and (since she's one of the "adults" and responsible) tried to give her "the talk" and it was so absolutely hilarious that I decided then and there that I had to keep him in the game for a bit longer.

So now I actually have to write down his skills and powers and stuff instead of ball-parking them.
Not that I object to that, really. Making characters is the best thing about any RPG as far as I’m concerned.

No joke, at least I didn't intend one. I just thought it funny that you were kinda speaking around each other.

Some compels will be hard, others will be soft. That's the game. If all compels were hard, nobody would ever self-compel.

I very much disagree. There are people out there who love the kind of drama a hard compel brings them.

Somehow I don't think you two have quite the same connotations for those words.   

You'd basically have to visit every scene where you cast a spell twice. Can be fun, can be excruciating.

Also clear violation of the 6^th law of magic: "Never swim against the currents of time"

Oh, I would definitely not make them pure human. I'm pretty sure they'd be some kind of scion or minor talent. I smell some kind of plot twist coming there...
