No, I think the semicolon will cause only one or the other to be cast,
depending on which condition is true. But since target=player is always
"true" anyway, it may still work, but doesn't seem ideal.

I'm not sure why the first one doesn't work. What it seems to be doing
is casting two spells on the player. Perhaps you can't have two
modifiers in a cast sequence like that, so yeah, maybe the semicolon
could work after all.

But on a separate note, what is the usefulness of this macro? Maybe I'm
not seeing the big picture right now, but BoL will last 5 minutes, so
why would you want to cast that again with each key press? Casting Holy
Light after it in this macro seems inefficient.

My idea behind the macro was that BoL would incresing my healing on a
target. At 40 Bol will increase healing up to 60.

Not sure if you've read this article or not, but it was really helpful in
getting me started down the road of macro happiness

I figured that is the premise, but the way the macro will work (or the
way it *should* work as it is) is that you will cast BoL on yourself,
then when you press the key again, you cast HL on yourself. If you wait
10 seconds, pressing the key again will cast BoL once more.

So my point is, it doesn't seem to make sense to cast BoL in the
beginning of a macro like that, because you will continuously be casting
it when you only need to refresh it every 5 minutes.

Also, AFAIK, "target=player" means you will always cast the spell on
yourself, even if you have another target selected. But above you said
"increase my healing on a target", which suggests you intend to use this
macro on other characters. If so, then I think you are misusing
target=player.

If this is for buffing and healing yourself, and you wanted to do
this, maybe resetting by going in and out of combat would be better...

/castsequence [target=player] reset=combat Blessing of Light, Holy
Light

If you mean it for someone else you are healing then

/castsequence [help, nodead] reset=target Blessing of Light, Holy
Light

with that, your target must be a Friendly, and alive, and the sequence
starts over with each new Friendly target.

Found out my problem was with the syntax of the macro

/castsequence [target=player] reset=10 Blessing of Light, Holy Light

btw thanks to Kint for posting different versions of the macro.
