Ceremony was a spell used by clerics and paladins to perform a magically infused religious ceremony.[1]
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:[1]
- 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.[1] 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.[2]
