Blast of pain

Blast of pain was a divine spell that bolstered the health, strength, and endurance of a protected creature.

Users
The spell could be cast by clerics who commanded the combat and necromantic spheres, and by painbearers, the specialty priests of Ilmater.

Effect
As its name suggested, the blast of pain spell inflicted intense pain on its victim, via a ray of smoky grey light shot from caster to the target. A creature that succumbed to the pain was left writhing in agony for some time, their nervous system damaged, incapable of action or coherent thought, and senseless to goings-on around them. One who resisted was merely slowed both mentally and physically, and harmed less, before the spell passed.
