Undead are immune to the attacks of normal weapons. Weapons which have been blessed by the Bless Item spell can harm the undead.

To bless weapons, the duration of the spell is 20 + 3 swings multiplied by the Cleric Base spell ranks of the caster. It is not restricted by the character's level. Ranks in Spiritual Lore, Blessings will add swings, 1 per rank.

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

A Cleric with 25 ranks of the Cleric Base spell list can add holy water flares to a weapon. A Cleric with 40 ranks can bless magic metal weapons (such as vultite) or enchanted weapons.

Weapons with critical weighting, damage weighting, or flares cannot be blessed. Weapons which are cursed may explode when blessed. This can be used to disarm certain undead opponents which carry cursed weapons.

An item can be blessed for a maximum of 998 uses.

The Paladin spell Purify (1604), when used upon the same item in the previous ten minutes, will increase the duration of the spell by a variable percentage (50% to 100%, based on the spell and lore training of the Purify (1604) caster).
