Censure

To enact this spell, the cleric must touch a target creature with his or her holy symbol (the material component of the spell, which is not consumed in the casting). The creature is thus "Marked" by the spell. The mark is visible only to the casting cleric and others of the same faith. Other clerics of the same alignment who worship other deities instinctively react with fear, hatred, and aversion to a censured creature, and do not trust nor willingly aid it. Those faithful to the same deity able to see the mark will refuse to aid or even approach the creature, and will ignore it if it attempts to deal with them, or drive it away if it tries to enter a building, home, or even a territory controlled by one who can see the mark. The mark is invisible to the one bearing it, who may not even know of its existence if it was bestowed in a battle or while the victim was asleep or unconscious, and shines clearly through clothing or disguises. Worshippers can thus readily spy upon and follow those marked as enemies, even in crowds or busy city streets. It will be revealed to others by a detect magic, and can readily be removed by a dispel magic. Clerics are warned that misuse of such a spell will bring about divine disfavor.
