Restore Bloodline (Reversible)

This powerful spell allows the caster to restore a creature's depleted or stolen bloodline, including any blood abilities lost as a result. Restore bloodline works on any living scion that has lost all or part of his bloodline through some magical means (such as the blood drain of a spectral scion or similar method). The spell has no effect on victims of bloodtheft who are brought back to life, or characters who give away their bloodlines willingly (by bequeathing them to an heir).

The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a length of red velvet ribbon, which is tied about the recipient's head.

The reverse of this spell, destroy bloodline, can be used to blast a scion's bloodline into nonexistence. By touching a creature, the casting priest uses his deity's power to erase the creature's bloodline. The victim is allowed a saving throw vs. death magic; if he fails, his bloodline and all blood abilities vanish permanently. Only a restore bloodline or wish spell can bring the bloodline back. Use of destroy bloodline is frowned upon in most parts of Cerilia; in some areas, it is banned entirely. Most scions feel that the spell wastes a rare resource; they would rather see bloodlines transferred or stolen than destroyed forever.

The material component for the reverse is a small sewing needle made of pure gold.
