	Certain items are naturally holy or have been [[sanctified]]. When held by a Cleric or Paladin, these items can damage the undead effectively as if they were blessed, though they can still take a cast of Bless for the same functionality when held by other professions, as well as receiving possible holy water flares. Sanctification can even reduce the undead penalties permanently for other professions; see the [[Sanctify (330)]] documentation for more details.

	This spell works on almost all weapons (including those with flares or weighting), however imperfections or powerful curses can cause a blade to be rendered unstable by this blessing. At 25 [[Cleric Base]] spell ranks, the Cleric may offer holy water criticals with their blessing, which applies in addition to any other inherent flares on the weapon. At 40 Cleric Base spell ranks, a Cleric may bless magical metals or wizard-enchanted armaments.

			[[Undead]] creatures are resistant to many forms of attack, and can shrug off blows that would fell most living creatures. Normal weapons have a -25% damage reduction against undead, and combat maneuvers have a -25 roll penalty. A [[Cleric]] can use the '''Bless''' spell, however, to give an ordinary weapon the ability to harm the undead.
	__TOC__
	'''Bless''' is used to prepare weapons to fight the [[undead]], which are immune to the attacks of normal weapons. Weapons with [[flare\|flares]] cannot be blessed, though many special scripts applied to weapons and armor (such as [[ensorcell]]) do not prevent a bless. Weapons with [[critical weighting]] or [[damage weighting]] may be blessed by a sufficiently skilled [[cleric]] with reduced efficiency. Any weapon assessed at heavy or higher weighting will require an extremely skilled [[cleric]] to bless, if it is possible at all. A [[cleric]] with 25 [[Cleric Base]] ranks can add holy water flares to a weapon. A cleric with 40 ranks can bless magic metal weapons (such as [[vultite]]) or [[enchant]]ed weapons.

			This spell works on almost all weapons (including those with flares or weighting), however imperfections or powerful curses can cause a blade to be rendered unstable by this blessing. At 25 [[Cleric Base]] spell ranks, the Cleric may offer holy water criticals with their blessing, which applies in addition to any other inherent flares on the weapon. At 40 Cleric Base spell ranks, a Cleric may bless magical metals or wizard-enchanted armaments.
	Blesses last for {{boldmono\|20 + (3 × [[Cleric Base]] ranks) swings}}. Overtraining in the Cleric Base beyond the caster's level will continue to add to duration. Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] will add one swing per rank. An item can be blessed for a maximum of 998 uses.

			The base number of swings for Bless Item is 20 + 3 swings per Cleric Base spell rank of the caster (including overtrained spell ranks above the caster's level). The number of swings can be increased with [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] ranks; +1 swing for each rank. Subsequent casts by the same Cleric will reduce the effective charges granted at a rate of 10% per cast, with a minimum of 10% of the original value, and resets at midnight.

			One blessing is used during each attack against an undead creature (or offensive spell cast while using a blessed runestaff), regardless of outcome. An item can be blessed for a maximum of 998 uses. Bless charges can be refreshed if the new application has more charges than the item currently possesses. Blessing charges are not expended when using the weapon against living creatures. Charges are also not expended while the adventurer using the blessed weapon is in a [[group]] with a Cleric and under effect of [[Benediction (307)]].
⚫	When casting from a magical item or scroll, every two skill ranks (for the appropriate activation method) count as 1 spell rank.

			Bless may also be used to bless armor and shields so that combat maneuvers involving these implements can be used against the undead without penalty. Additionally, Bless Item can be cast on aquamarine wands to upgrade the spell from Minor Water to Holy Bolt at a cost of a few charges.
	Weapons with [[weighting]] will receive a bless of shorter duration. The number of swings reduced by weighting is derived from the total number of services (not CER) the item has. If an item has multiple types of WPS services, they are summed for the purposes of the calculation (i.e. 150 crit and 50 damage services would be treated as 200)

	Examples:

	50 crit service: 50 swing reduction

	200 damage services: 150 + (1.5 * 50) = 225 swing reduction

	200 crit services and 500 damage services: 700 combined services = 150 + (150 * 1.5) + (400 * 3) = 1575 swing reduction
