By touching the creature afflicted, the priest employing the spell can permanently cure some forms of blindness.
The spell will automatically heal blindness caused by a magical blindess spell or the reverse of the clerical spell Cure Blindness or Deafness (or similar blindness-causing magical effects), regardless of how long ago it occured.
The chance of successfully curing blindness caused by physical damage to the optical nerves or eyes is equal to 5% per rank and such damage must have occurred within the past (rank x rank) hours. At rank 22, the mage can heal optical damage that occurred up to 10 years ago. Anything older than that, as well as the absence of eyes or a blindeness birth defect requires a Regeneration spell. If the roll fails, the mage may try again, with a cumulative -15 to his chance of success (-15 to his second attempt, -30 to his third attempt, etc.). This penalty applies to his chance to heal the damage, not to his cast chance with the spell. |
