__TOC__
'''Bless Item''' is used to prepare weapons to fight the [[undead]], which are immune to the attacks of normal weapons. Weapons with [[critical weighting]], [[damage weighting]], or [[flare|flares]] cannot be blessed, though many special scripts applied to weapons and armor (such as [[ensorcell]]) do not prevent a bless. 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.

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.

When casting from a magical item or scroll, every two skill ranks (for the appropriate activation method) count as 1 spell rank.

A [[curse]]d weapon cannot be blessed and often the resulting clash of diametrically opposed energies may prove catastrophic.

{{Usage
|s= 304
|1= cast this spell. The target must have a blessable weapon in hand}}

==Use with [[Consecrate (1604)]]==
Casting the paladin spell, Consecrate, on an item within ten minutes of casting Bless Item on that same item will increase the duration of the spell by a variable percentage (50% to 100%, based on the spell and lore training of the Consecrate caster).

==Removing a Bless==
If desired, an active bless can be removed using [[Spirit Dispel (119)]], but not [[Elemental Dispel (417)]] or [[Mental Dispel (1218)]]. Blesses must be removed prior to most other modifications of the weapon or armor, such as [[enchanting]] or [[Elemental Blade (411)|eblading]].

==Lore Benefit==
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] will add one swing per rank.
