__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.

==Use with [[Consecrate (1604)]]==
For weapons, the paladin spell, Consecrate, can increase the duration of Bless Item or Symbol of Blessing. Consecrate is cast at the weapon first, and then the blessing must be performed within 10 minutes, which is extended 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.
