When cast, detect curse enables the priest to detect the existence of a curse on the creature or object, such as a cursed sword. The spell will detect the first cursed creature or object that lies along the casting priest's line of sight (and within range) with a base chance of 50%. An extra 1% is added to the base chance for each level of experience of the casting priest. Note that stone of more than 1 foot thickness or metal of any thickness will block the spell. The material components of the spell are the priest's holy or unholy symbol and a crushed sapphire of at least 1000 gp value.
