For the Heal spell on pg 200, I don't understand what the Drain Value is supposed to be. It reads "DV: (Damage Value) - 2". What exactly does "damage value" mean in this context?

If I cast Heal on my buddy who has taken 8 boxes of physical damage, rolling 3 hits on my Spellcasting+Magic roll, do I need to resist 1 drain (3 healed "damage" - 2) or 6 drain (8 total "damage" - 2)? Or am I reading something wrong?

And is Force only useful for limiting the maximum number of hits in this case?
