Developed by the faith of Tyrogatore to promote what they consider the purest form of combat, this blessing temporarily inhibits an opponent’s ability to use manufactured weapons. If the target has a melee or ranged weapon drawn when this spell is cast, he must make an opposed disarm check against the caster or drop his weapon. This disarm attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity, and the caster uses his caster level in place of his base attack bonus, his wisdom in place of strength, no size modifier, and no modifier for weapon type. The target uses whatever modifiers normally apply for an opposed disarm check. A separate opposed roll is made for each weapon held. If the maintains possession of at least one weapon held, the spell ends.
Each time the target attempts to pick up a dropped weapon or draw a new one, he must make a Will save. Failure means he cannot do so, but is otherwise unhindered and is free to attack with natural or unarmed attacks or take any other action. Success on this Will save ends the spell.
This blessing has no effect on natural weapons or objects that are not being used offensively to physically attack (such as spell components, wands, shields, etc.). If the subject attempts to use an object not initially affected by the spell as a weapon (such as a shield bash or an improvised weapon), that object is immediately subject to the disarm attempt (if already in hand) or the Will save (if the target is attempting to draw or pick up) described above.
For the duration of this blessing, the caster cannot wield a manufactured weapon in combat. He automatically drops any object intended to be used in such a manner.
