Do you get a model back when you use the Narthecium if you pass the recovery test or is this the most convoluted way of saying "roll a dice and on a 4+ you get the -2 to the status check"

Are you supposed to recover an unsaved wound on a model in the phase when you use the Narthesium?
Because it doesn't sound like the Recovery Test was written with this in mind (since it says it happens when you allocate the unsaved wounds).
But it would be absolutely fucking retarded to reference a rule that has nothing to do with what you are doing just to have that rule reference another rule so you can make a roll based on Medic(x)...
What level of retardation are we on here?
