DESCRIPTION

Reduce the damage the target takes from non-curse sources by 12. Each time you do, the target takes 2 damage at the beginning of their turn for a number of rounds equal to half the damage prevented, rounded down. If the amount prevented was odd, the target takes an extra damage on the first turn. The damage taken each turn stacks and is tracked separately. This spell can only prevent 30 plus 6 damage per caster level (max 90).

The target may make a touch attack to transfer the remaining damage of one curse to a new target. A will save prevents this transfer.

The damage does not end when this spell ends. This effect is considered a curse and can only be removed with a remove curse or higher level magic.

Note: this touch attack can be delivered by spellstrike
