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. 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 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, though many special scripts applied to weapons and armor (such as ensorcell) do not prevent a bless.

The Paladin spell Consecrate (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 Consecrate (1604) caster).

If desired, an active bless can be removed using Spirit Dispel (119), though it may not be removed using Elemental Dispel (417). This may be useful in preparation for other modifications of the weapon or armor such as enchanting.
