Bane (spell)

Bane was an enchantment spell that sapped enemy morale and reduced their combat effectiveness. A conjuration version was known by the name curse and was the reverse of bless.

Effects
Those enemies cursed were inflicted with trepidation and doubt, lowering their morale and dulling their skill in combat.

Bane countered and dispelled bless and vice versa.

After Second Sundering, the bane and bless spells didn't counter and dispel each other but were opposites of each other.

Components
This spell required only verbal and somatic components, and the caster's (un)holy symbol or divine focus. The conjuration version required unholy water. The later enchantment version used a drop of blood.
