The spell has received various makeovers so there's a few things I'm unsure of.

1) You can still only infuse when channeling, right? 2) The formula for the amount of mana infused.

Also, given that people often ask about which deities grant Bane or Smite, this should be somewhere on the page. Maybe the top/bottom division of CONVERT. A seperate page would probably be better, with the flares of 317 listed with all of that but I don't think that information is going to come easily. CONNATIC

I actually have a list of various messages from 317, though it is largely incomplete. -Andy talk 17:15, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Changes today to 302 made via the Announcement on the official forums and information from Estild on Discord. Whether Smite still deals 0.6 to undead vs. living is unknown at this time.CHAROJ (talk) 13:21, 24 April 2019 (CDT)

Per Estild... Smite is .6 to undead and .5 to living. Bane is .5 against living and undead. WINTERDAWN (talk) 23:44, 24 April 2019 (CDT)

Infusion Damage

The wiki was updated to state that infusion increases the hitpoint damage to a max of 60, but I believe this to be in error for 2 reasons:

1) Estild said that it's wrong. He also said that Religion ranks only increase the chance for an infusion.

2) This snippet...

You channel at a spectral triton defender.
A scintillating, blue-white aura encompasses a spectral triton defender.
CS: +470 - TD: +349 + CvA: +25 + d100: +24 == +170
Warding failed!
With a sudden burst of divine insight, you're able to amplify the power of your Smite spell!
Large wisps of blue-white energy lash out at a spectral triton defender, cauterizing the impact marks on the skin in an instant.
The triton defender is hit for 63 points of damage!
... 35 points of damage!
Smash to the cheek deforms left eye socket.
Vapor swirls as the ethereal bones reform.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

I went and used Smite on a bunch of low level creatures (both undead and living) and it was a max of 63 against all of them. The remaining situation to be tested is what Bane does against undead/living.

Therefore, I am changing it from 60 to 63 until further research can be performed. WINTERDAWN (talk) 13:53, 26 April 2019 (CDT)
