The archon-created magic (found only on Mount Celestia) of blessed forgetfulness serves a high purpose: to ease scarred and injured minds. Blessed forgetfulness negates the injurious effects of failed fear or horror checks, and removes any madness suffered from contact with the howling winds of Pandemonium or the terrors of the Abyss. It does not cure the effects of magically induced insanity or feeblemind, however.

The material component is a few drops of holy water, sprinkled on the recipient.

The reverse form, winged memory, restores the memories of any creature affected by the rivers Lethe or Styx. It also restores memories lost to forget or touch of the Styx spells. If used on a spell-casting creature with no memory loss, it restores a single, previously cast spell of 1st or 2nd level to the recipient's mind. The priest cannot use this effect on himself. The material component is the same as for the other form of the spell

Notes: Rare for planar priests. Unlikely to be learned except by visiting the Outer Planes.
