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.

The reverse of this spell, cause light wounds, was cast in an identical manner, but had the exact opposite effect.
