Cure Serious Wounds
Conjuration (Healing) [Positive] 1 standard action SRD
Will half (harmless); see text - Yes (harmless); see text Adp 3, APeace 3, Arc 3, Blk 3, Brd 3, BVal 3, ChamGwyn 4, Clr 3, Drd 4, EmBarachiel 3, Healing 3, Hlr 3, HotD 3, Pal 4, Rgr 4, Shu 3 V, S
Instant Touch General
Target: Creature touched

Cures 3d8 damage +1/level (max +15).

When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 3d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +15).

Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can apply spell resistance, and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.

Daylight
Evocation [Light] 1 standard action SRD
None - No Adp 3, Arc 3, Brd 3, ChamGwyn 3, Clr 3, Drd 3, EmBarachiel 3, HotD 3, Pal 3, Shu 3, Sor/Wiz 3 V, S
10 min./level (D) Touch 4 hours
Target: Object touched

60-ft. radius of bright light.

The object touched sheds light as bright as full daylight in a 60-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 60 feet beyond that. Creatures that take penalties in bright light also take them while within the radius of this magical light. Despite its name, this spell is not the equivalent of daylight for the purposes of creatures that are damaged or destroyed by bright light.

If daylight is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a light- proof covering, the spells effects are blocked until the covering is removed.

Daylight brought into an area of magical darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect.

Daylight counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level, such as darkness.

Halt Undead
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
Will negates; see text - Yes HotD 3, Sor/Wiz 3 V, S, M
1 round/level Medium General
Targets: Up to three undead creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Immobilizes undead for 1 round/level.

This spell renders as many as three undead creatures immobile. A nonintelligent undead creature gets no saving throw; an intelligent undead creature does. If the spell is successful, it renders the undead creature immobile for the duration of the spell (similar to the effect of hold person on a living creature). The effect is broken if the halted creatures are attacked or take damage.

Protection from Energy
Abjuration 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude negates (harmless) - Yes (harmless) APeace 3, Arc 3, Blg 3, Blk 3, Clr 3, Dem 2, Drd 3, Duskblade 3, HB 3, Hoard 3, HotD 3, KotC 3, Luck 3, Protection 3, Rgr 2, Shu 3, Sor/Wiz 3, Vassal of Bahamut 3, Wuj 3 V, S, DF
10 min./level or until discharged Touch 1 hour
Target: Creature touched

Absorb 12 points/level of damage from one kind of energy.

Protection from energy grants temporary immunity to the type of energy you specify when you cast it (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). When the spell absorbs 12 points per caster level of energy damage (to a maximum of 120 points at 10th level), it is discharged.

Note: Protection from energy overlaps (and does not stack with) resist energy. If a character is warded by protection from energy and resist energy, the protection spell absorbs damage until its power is exhausted.

Searing Light
Evocation 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Arc 3, Clr 3, Exalted Arcanist 3, Glory 3, HotD 3, KotC 3, Shu 3, Sun 3, Vassal of Bahamut 3 V, S
Instant Medium General
Effect: Ray

Ray deals 1d8/two levels damage, more against undead.

Focusing divine power like a ray of the sun, you project a blast of light from your open palm. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike your target. A creature struck by this ray of light takes 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8). An undead creature takes 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d6), and an undead creature particularly vulnerable to bright light takes 1d8 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d8). A construct or inanimate object takes only 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6).

Speak with Dead
Necromancy [Language-Dependent] 10 minutes SRD
Will negates; see text - No Arc 3, Clr 3, HotD 3, Pact 3, Repose 3, Retribution 3, Slayer of Domiel 3, Wuj 6 V, S, DF
1 min./level 10 ft. 30 minutes
Target: One dead creature

Corpse answers one question/two levels.

You grant the semblance of life and intellect to a corpse, allowing it to answer several questions that you put to it. You may ask one question per two caster levels. Unasked questions are wasted if the duration expires. The corpses knowledge is limited to what the creature knew during life, including the languages it spoke (if any). Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive. If the creatures alignment was different from yours, the corpse gets a Will save to resist the spell as if it were alive.

If the corpse has been subject to speak with dead within the past week, the new spell fails. You can cast this spell on a corpse that has been deceased for any amount of time, but the body must be mostly intact to be able to respond. A damaged corpse may be able to give partial answers or partially correct answers, but it must at least have a mouth in order to speak at all.

This spell does not let you actually speak to the person (whose soul has departed). It instead draws on the imprinted knowledge stored in the corpse. The partially animated body retains the imprint of the soul that once inhabited it, and thus it can speak with all the knowledge that the creature had while alive. The corpse, however, cannot learn new information.

Indeed, it can't even remember being questioned.

This spell does not affect a corpse that has been turned into an undead creature.
