Casting this spell upon a poisoned individual slows the effects of that poison, restoring life to that individual for the duration of the spell. The poison is not neutralized, and 1 hit point is lost per turn, which can reduce the individual to a minimum of 1 hit point for the duration of the spell. A poisoned individual who receives no further remedy by the end of the spell's duration will perish.
The material components are the shukenja's holy symbol and a bud of garlic.
Notes: Common for oriental priests; otherwise, very rare.
