Bless
From Toosigma
(Conjuration/Summoning)
Reversible
Sphere: All
Range: 60 yds.
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 6 rds.
Casting Time: 1 rd.
Area of Effect: 50-ft. cube
Saving Throw: None
Upon uttering the bless spell, the
caster raises the morale of friendly
creatures and any saving throw rolls they
make against fear effects by +1.
Furthermore, it raises their attack dice
rolls by +1. A blessing, however, affects
only those not already engaged in melee
combat. The caster determines at what
range (up to 60 yards) he will cast the
spell. At the instant the spell is
completed, it affects all creatures in a 50-
foot cube centered on the point selected
by the caster (thus, affected creatures
leaving the area are still subject to the
spell's effect; those entering the area
after the casting is completed are not).
A second use of this spell is to bless a single item (for example, a crossbow bolt for use against a rakshasa). The weight of the item is limited to one pound per caster level and the effect lasts until the item is used or the spell duration ends.
Multiple bless spells are not cumulative. In addition to the verbal and somatic gesture components, the bless spell requires holy water.
This spell can be reversed by the priest to a curse spell that, when cast upon enemy creatures, lowers their morale and attack rolls by -1. The curse requires the sprinkling of unholy water.
