Blind is a warding spell that causes the image of the cleric's deity to be superimposed over him/herself.
This vision will apply the Blinded and Stunned effects on the target for a duration calculated using the standard negative duration formula.

On a warding margin of 20 or more (endroll of +120 or higher), there is a chance the target will be forced into a kneeling position, which is increased with training in Spiritual Lore, Religion.

Kneel% = 15 + [(Endroll - 100) / 4] + [Religion Ranks / 3]

Undead and creatures that are immune to stuns will not be stunned, but are still subject to the blind status effect.

Lore Benefit

Every three ranks in Spiritual Lore, Religion increases the percentage chance to force kneeling by 1%.

Spiritual Lore, Religion ranks 0 3 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240
Chance to force kneeling 20% 21% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%
Not all thresholds shown. Chance increases by an additional 1% per 4 points of endroll above 120.

Messaging

When casting this spell, the messaging will be different depending upon the caster's CONVERT-chosen deity, except with the rare exception Well of Life (308) where it instead detects the target's deity. Expand the chart below to see all known possibilities. Any missing information can be added at the deity messaging page.

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of an old man. His features are worn with time and care, but a certain set of the brow and jaw still suggests steely determination.

[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the Destroyer's unthinking hunger for annihilation flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a gruesome demon.

Darkness wells forth to consume the image, and then you see nothing at all.
Mularos

The image sears itself into your vision before everything dissolves in a wash of scarlet.
Sheru
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the cruel, feral power of the Bringer of Terror flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see a pair of feral amber eyes gleaming out of darkness. Faintly, you can discern the outline of a jackal's head, but the proportions are subtly distorted -- the muzzle is too large to properly fit the head, and needlelike teeth gleam menacingly behind black lips. Darkness wells forth to consume the image, and then you see nothing at all.
V'tull
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the ecstatic bloodlust of the Berserker flowing through you.

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see a somber woman swathed in a grey cloak. Her face is as pale as alabaster, and her features are composed with perfect, unwavering serenity. The air grows cold as her ice blue gaze rests upon you. The intensity of the vision overwhelms you, and everything dissolves in a wash of grey, leaving you blinded.
Zelia
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the madness of the Keeper of the Moons rising in you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see four crescent moons wheeling wildly through a sky that flashes with a thousand different colors. A pair of large emerald eyes stare down on you from above the moons, set in a constantly shifting face framed by long, windblown silver hair. The delighted laughter of a madwoman fills your ears as you grow more and more disoriented, and then the intensity of the vision overwhelms you. Everything dissolves in a wash of grey, leaving you blinded.
Lesser Spirits
Aeia
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the warmth and nuturing comfort of the Mother flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a beautiful human woman with kind, quiet eyes.

A faint glow halos her features for only a moment before her face, and everything else, vanishes from view.
Amasalen
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the frenzied religious ecstasy of the Executioner flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a cruelly smiling Faendryl man with dark bronze skin and slitted golden eyes.

Arachne
[1p] This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a brash woman with a fighter's build, clad in bloodstained leather armor. One of her eyebrows is slightly raised, and her smirk is distinctly condescending. Superimposed over her face, the image of a black widow spider shimmers into view, then fades away again. As the spider vanishes, everything else falls into darkness, leaving you blind.
Ghezresh
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the powerful and oppressive intimidation of Ghezresh flow through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and in its place you see an omnipotent presence wreathed in indigo and silver mists. From within the depths, an eel rises from CASTER's collarbone and wraps itself around CASTER's neck before clicking its jaws closed upon its tail. Abruptly, the darkly intimidating mists recede.
The Huntress
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the cold, exquisitely controlled anger of the Huntress flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a surpassingly beautiful woman whose face is a mask of carefully controlled anger. A silvery scythe blade curves alongside her face, and the reflection across the mirror-polished surface displays the eight-pointed star Krr'ska. Light flashes from the scythe blade into your eyes, and then everything goes black.

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a slender sylvan man with six white-feathered wings growing from his back. A wide band of many-colored feathers adorns his head, offering some minor restraint for his windswept, light brown hair as well as lending a rakish quality to his carefree smile. Silvery radiance flashes around his face in the instant before everything goes dark.

[2p] CASTER'S face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a young man with delicately fair skin, raven black hair, and sorrowful blue eyes.

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a woman in her twenties with wavy mahogany hair and azure eyes.

The image sears itself into your eyes before everything dissolves in a wash of grey.
Niima

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see a waiflike young woman with shining blue eyes and a dazzling smile. Her pale blonde hair flows over her milk-white shoulders as smoothly as water, and you briefly smell a fresh sea breeze in the moment before everything goes dark.

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a cracked white skull. Shadows play over the pale bone surface, but never fully resolve into recognizable forms. Abruptly, the skull vanishes into complete and utter blackness -- along with everything else around you.

Voaris
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the merry pleasure of the Patron of Young Love flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a young man with delicately fair skin, sunlight golden hair, and merry blue eyes framed by long blond lashes.

Voln
[1p] As your faith overcomes TARGET's weakened defenses, you sense the grim, determined spirit of the Paladin flowing through you.
[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and, in its place, you see the image of a grim man clad in a full suit of black chainmail. His cold, somber eyes stare straight past you, and the faint halo of white radiance surrounding him only seems to deepen the shadows of his forbidding visage. The image sears itself into your eyes before everything dissolves into blackness.
