Ceremony

Ceremony was a spell used by clerics and paladins to perform a magically infused religious ceremony.

Effects
For the spell to be effective, the caster had to come into physical contact with the target creature. The spell allowed the caster to perform a variety of rites:
 * Atonement: The cleric was able to restore a creature to their natural alignment.
 * Bless Water: Transformed a vial of water into holy water.
 * Coming of Age: When used on a young creature, they temporarily gained the skills of an adult.
 * Dedication: Used when a creature became dedicated to the cleric's deity.
 * Funeral Rite: Prevented a corpse from becoming undead for up to a week.
 * Wedding: Used during wedding ceremonies.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, the spell required a material component: powdered silver with a value of at least 25 gp. Older versions of the spell varied in the material component required based upon the religion of the caster, but always involved use of the priest's holy symbol.
