Cure wounds

Cure light wounds was a conjuration spell that healed minor injuries.

Effect
When laying hands upon a living creature, the caster channeled positive energy that healed a modest amount of damage.

Since undead were powered by negative energy, this spell dealt damage to them rather than curing their wounds. Willful undead creatures had a chance to avoid some of the damage.

This was one of the few healing spells available as an arcane spell to bards.
