Stop Bleeding
(Alteration)(Healing)

Duration:  Permanent
Casting Time:  1
Area of Effect:  Person touched
Saving Throw:  None

This spell immediately stops the bleeding of a wounded individual. It will not heal any damage, only stop the flow and scent of blood. This is useful when a priest needs to halt bleeding of an individual who cannot be fully healed at that time (note that even a bandaged wound may still attract sharks and other creatures by scent). The spell will cease to attract sharks and other carnivorous fish, but the amount of blood already spilled will still exist. This spell can also be used on land to stop the victim from leaving a trail of blood. It may also be used to halt the adverse effects of a weapon of wounding.
The material component of this spell is the priest's holy symbol.
