This spell must be cast over a sword. The sword gains a bonus of +1 per rank to strike chance, and +1 per 5 ranks (round down, but +5 at rank 22) when used against oppositely-aligned creatures. Thus a dark mage of good alignment can use this to affect creatures of evil alignment and vice-versa. Dark mages of neutral alignment (with respect to good and evil) can use the spell to cause damage to good or evil creatures. |
