Detect curse

Detect curse was a divine divination spell of the southern magic tradition that allowed the caster to examine artifacts or creatures for the presence of a curse.

Effects
This spell had a maximum range of 10 yd (9.1 m) and only detected divinely inspired curses&mdash;items with dangerous enchantments on them were not considered cursed for the purposes of this spell. With sufficient experience, a priest could determine the specific type of curse, such as from a bestow curse spell, a bane, a dying curse, or a major curse spell. For one version of this spell, it took one minute to examine an object or a creature and the spell lasted for several minutes, so the caster could examine other targets until the spell expired.

Components
This spell required only verbal and somatic components to cast.
