Description¶
This spell is the reverse of Cure Serious Wounds. Instead of healing the touched creature, it causes damage. On a successful touch from the priest the spell inflicts 17 damage with no saving throw. The priest must successfully touch the target with his next attack; if he misses, the spell is wasted. The priest has only 2 rounds to do this before the spell fizzles.
