Clerical Spell Specification
[6] Cure Disease / [5] Cure Lycanthropy
BTS: 60% (Co)
ULT: 8 hours (including some basic knowledge
about symptoms of common Diseases)
Materials: a wet cloth
Actions: mop Target's brow with Materials (or
gesture doing so if Cast at Range)
Effect of Throw: % Chance of
Success = T%
Max. Disease Level ("DL") Cured:
-33DL% (Cleric may specify the Disease he is
attempting to Cure or its symptoms, rather than attempt to guess the DL
required, or may specify he is leaving the parameter open. The God
will set the necessary parameter based on the Disease most nearly described
by Cleric, or the highest level Disease suffered by the Target if left
open. DM's Note: this is made a Variable Parameter to get round the
500% limit on T for really high-level Diseases.)

Lycanthropy

Range: d ft -5d(d-1)/2 %
(lay on hands to Cure for Range 0)
Notes:
- Cast on a single Target living Being, who may choose whether to make a
ST (Exception: Lycanthropes will always make a ST, even before they have
first assumed Were form).
- If Target chooses not to or fails to save, roll d100 for each Disease
Target is suffering from (whether known or not) up to Max. DL
Cured. If roll <= % Chance of Success, that Disease is
completely Cured. It may however take Target some time to recover
from the physical results of the Disease. Physical damage to the
body, such as spots, scabs or buboes are Healed, but weakness and
debilitation are not. If the Disease has caused effects such as
blindness or loss of limbs, these will need to be separately Healed.
- Diseases are caused by Organisms, which the Spell kills. Cure
Disease does not cure mental diseases, which are classifed as Madness,
or poisoning by Poison (as
opposed to food poisoning by Organisms).
- Cure Lycanthropy (MIRIMI Level 6) is identical to Cure Disease,
but the only Disease it Cures is Lycanthropy. Essentially MIRIMI
allows Cure Disease to be Cast at a Spell Level lower if Lycanthropy is
the Disease being targeted. (But She gives Cure Disease at one Spell
Level higher than normal anyway.)
- May also be Cast on objects or carriers which are infected with, but
not suffering from, Diseases in order to cleanse them of infection. Carriers which are living or Undead
Beings get a ST.
- Cannot be Cast on someone in advance of infection in order to Protect
vs Disease.
