Remove curse

Upon casting the remove curse spell, the spellcaster is usually able to remove a curse on an object, on a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence. Note that the spell does not remove the curse from a cursed magical item, although the spell typically enables the person afflicted with any such cursed item to get rid of it. A caster of great power can cure lycanthropy with this spell by casting it on the animal form, although success is not assured.

The reverse of the spell is not permanent; the bestow curse spell lasts for but an hour, or perhaps a few hours if the caster is very powerful. All manner of afflictions may be bestowed, but the subject of a bestow curse spell must be touched.

Note: This version of remove curse originally appeared in the 2nd Edition Player's Handbook for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons from TSR. Its use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
