of course the run where i waste the starting heal spell is the run I win

You pretty much always have to waste the starting spell. Your first 5HP worth of attacks is rarely going to give you enough information to deduce a path, so you'll need that sound 6HP to try to find another scroll.

You can't waste any heals if you want to clear the board.

Wasting it is the same as just keeping it unused forever, the other use for heal spells.
