This spell allows the caster to remove a curse placed on an item. If the curse is placed by a Sorcerer, spell ranks, which are not capped by level, count significantly more than lore ranks in terms of curse/uncurse strength.

The strength formula for a Curse and/or Remove Curse on an item is based on the following factors:

- Discipline and Aura bonuses

- Ranks in the appropriate lore (Spirit Summoning for 715, Blessings for 315)

- Ranks in the appropriate spell circle (700s and 300s respectively)

- Level (the coefficient for this is reduced if the spell is not cast natively)

All coefficients are equal between the two professions. There's no random roll, either. It's just whoever has the higher strength wins. Additionally, Clerics receive an immense bonus to Remove Curse if the cursed target was Neutralize Cursed first.


Lore Benefits

Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases the spell strength when attempting to remove a curse.
