[edit] Notes
- When cast on undead, this spell will heal and raise the strength of the target. This can be useful to buff up summons or shifter allies.
- The damage (or increase) to strength is not cumulative with multiple castings of this spell.
[edit] Previous versions
- Prior to 1.69, bonus damage was not capped at 20, even though the description said it was.
